Another major update is on the way for Team Fortress 2 and you know what that means: more weapons! The Australian Christmas 2011 update adds new weapons for the Pyro and Engineer along with a new Control Point map called Foundry.
Foundry is a little different from other TF2 levels due to having 12 map-specific achievements (one achievement mentions you can shove opponents into a fire cauldron hazard). Those who unlock seven of the new achievements earn a silly-looking top hat fitted with industrial smoke pipes.
As for the new weapons, they were designed by Dr. Grordbort, who previously created some Soldier weapons. The Engineer gets a replacement for his shotgun and wrench:
- The Pomson 6000 - Fires penetrating projectiles that cannot be reflected. Shots cause Medics to lose 10% of their Medigun charge and removes 20% cloak from Spies. Requires no ammo.
- The Eureka Effect - A wrench with the ability to teleport the player to spawn when using alt-fire. When equipped, you cannot carry buildings (just like vanilla TF2!).
- Braniac Goggles - Green-tinted goggles with an antenna.
- Maths-Enhancing Hair-do - Scruffy white hair and moustache that make you appear as some sort of mad scientist.
The Pyro receives three new weapons and each of them has a unique use:
- The Phlogistinator - This Flamethrower has an 'Mmmph' meter that's charged when you deal fire damage. Activating 'Mmmph' refills your health and grants the ability to deal out critical hits for several seconds. The Phlogistinator cannot deal random critical hits nor has airblast.
- The Manmelter 3600 ZX - Grants one critical hit for every teammate you extinguish with this weapon. Does not require ammo nor can shots be reflected but cannot deal random critical hits.
- The Third Degree - An axe that transfers damage to all players connected by Medigun beams.
- Moonman Backpack - An oxygen tank worn on the back.
- Bubble Pipe - Funny-looking bubble helmet fitted with a smoking pipe.

A survey on security issues in service delivery models of cloud computingS. Subashini | V. Kavitha
Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 1-11
Cloud computing is a way to increase the capacity or add capabilities dynamically without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. It extends Information Technology's (IT) existing capabilities. In the last few years, cloud computing has grown from being a promising business concept to one of the fast growing segments of the IT industry. But as more and more information on individuals and companies are placed in the cloud, concerns are beginning to grow about just how safe an environment it is. Despite of all the hype surrounding the cloud, enterprise customers are still reluctant to deploy their business in the cloud. Security is one of the major issues which reduces the growth of cloud computing and complications with data privacy and data protection continue to plague the market. The advent of an advanced model should not negotiate with the required functionalities and capabilities present in the current model. A new model targeting at improving features of an existing model must not risk or threaten other important features of the current model. The architecture of cloud poses such a threat to the security of the existing technologies when deployed in a cloud environment. Cloud service users need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data breaches in this new environment. In this paper, a survey of the different security risks that pose a threat to the cloud is presented. This paper is a survey more specific to the different security issues that has emanated due to the nature of the service delivery models of a cloud computing system. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

A survey on coverage and connectivity issues in wireless sensor networksChuan Zhu | Chunlin Zheng | Lei Shu | Guangjie Han
Volume 35, Issue 2, March 2012, Pages 619-632
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is composed of a group of small power-constrained nodes with functions of sensing and communication, which can be scattered over a vast region for the purpose of detecting or monitoring some special events. The first challenge encountered in WSNs is how to cover a monitoring region perfectly. Coverage and connectivity are two of the most fundamental issues in WSNs, which have a great impact on the performance of WSNs. Optimized deployment strategy, sleep scheduling mechanism, and coverage radius cannot only reduce cost, but also extend the network lifetime. In this paper, we classify the coverage problem from different angles, describe the evaluation metrics of coverage control algorithms, analyze the relationship between coverage and connectivity, compare typical simulation tools, and discuss research challenges and existing problems in this area. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

A survey on vehicular cloud computingMd Whaiduzzaman | Mehdi Sookhak | Abdullah Gani | Rajkumar Buyya
Volume 40, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 325-344
Vehicular networking has become a significant research area due to its specific features and applications such as standardization, efficient traffic management, road safety and infotainment. Vehicles are expected to carry relatively more communication systems, on board computing facilities, storage and increased sensing power. Hence, several technologies have been deployed to maintain and promote Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Recently, a number of solutions were proposed to address the challenges and issues of vehicular networks. Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) is one of the solutions. VCC is a new hybrid technology that has a remarkable impact on traffic management and road safety by instantly using vehicular resources, such as computing, storage and internet for decision making. This paper presents the state-of-the-art survey of vehicular cloud computing. Moreover, we present a taxonomy for vehicular cloud in which special attention has been devoted to the extensive applications, cloud formations, key management, inter cloud communication systems, and broad aspects of privacy and security issues. Through an extensive review of the literature, we design an architecture for VCC, itemize the properties required in vehicular cloud that support this model. We compare this mechanism with normal Cloud Computing (CC) and discuss open research issues and future directions. By reviewing and analyzing literature, we found that VCC is a technologically feasible and economically viable technological shifting paradigm for converging intelligent vehicular networks towards autonomous traffic, vehicle control and perception systems. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Secure virtualization for cloud computingFlavio Lombardi | Roberto Di Pietro
Volume 34, Issue 4, July 2011, Pages 1113-1122
Cloud computing adoption and diffusion are threatened by unresolved security issues that affect both the cloud provider and the cloud user. In this paper, we show how virtualization can increase the security of cloud computing, by protecting both the integrity of guest virtual machines and the cloud infrastructure components. In particular, we propose a novel architecture, Advanced Cloud Protection System (ACPS), aimed at guaranteeing increased security to cloud resources. ACPS can be deployed on several cloud solutions and can effectively monitor the integrity of guest and infrastructure components while remaining fully transparent to virtual machines and to cloud users. ACPS can locally react to security breaches as well as notify a further security management layer of such events. A prototype of our ACPS proposal is fully implemented on two current open source solutions: Eucalyptus and OpenECP. The prototype is tested against effectiveness and performance. In particular: (a) effectiveness is shown testing our prototype against attacks known in the literature; (b) performance evaluation of the ACPS prototype is carried out under different types of workload. Results show that our proposal is resilient against attacks and that the introduced overhead is small when compared to the provided features. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Trust mechanisms in wireless sensor networks: Attack analysis and countermeasuresYanli Yu | Keqiu Li | Wanlei Zhou | Ping Li
Volume 35, Issue 3, May 2012, Pages 867-880
As the trust issue in wireless sensor networks is emerging as one important factor in security schemes, it is necessary to analyze how to resist attacks with a trust scheme. In this paper we categorize various types of attacks and countermeasures related to trust schemes in WSNs. Furthermore, we provide the development of trust mechanisms, give a short summarization of classical trust methodologies and emphasize the challenges of trust scheme in WSNs. An extensive literature survey is presented by summarizing state-of-the-art trust mechanisms in two categories: secure routing and secure data. Based on the analysis of attacks and the existing research, an open field and future direction with trust mechanisms in WSNs is provided. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Cryptanalysis and improvement of a biometrics-based remote user authentication scheme using smart cardsXiong Li | Jian Wei Niu | Jian Ma | Wen Dong Wang | Cheng Lian Liu
Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 73-79
Recently, Li and Hwang proposed a biometrics-based remote user authentication scheme using smart cards [Journal of Network and Computer Applications 33 (2010) 15]. The scheme is based on biometrics verification, smart card and one-way hash function, and it uses the nonce rather than a synchronized clock, so it is very efficient in computational cost. Unfortunately, the scheme has some security weaknesses, that is to say Li and Hwang's scheme does not provide proper authentication and it cannot resist the man-in-the-middle attacks. If an attacker controls the insecure channel, she/he can easily fabricate messages to pass the user's or server's authentication. Besides, the malicious attacker can impersonate the user to cheat the server and can impersonate the server to cheat the user without knowing any secret information. This paper proposes an improved biometrics-based remote user authentication scheme that removes the aforementioned weaknesses and supports session key agreement. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

An overview of the Internet of Things for people with disabilitiesMari Carmen Domingo
Volume 35, Issue 2, March 2012, Pages 584-596
Currently, over a billion people including children (or about 15% of the worlds population) are estimated to be living with disability. The lack of support services can make handicapped people overly dependent on their families, which prevents them from being economically active and socially included. The Internet of Things can offer people with disabilities the assistance and support they need to achieve a good quality of life and allows them to participate in the social and economic life. In this paper, an overview of the Internet of Things for people with disabilities is provided. For this purpose, the proposed architecture of the Internet of Things is introduced. Different application scenarios are considered in order to illustrate the interaction of the components of the Internet of Things. Critical challenges have been identified and addressed. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Intrusion detection system: A comprehensive reviewHung Jen Liao | Chun Hung Richard Lin | Ying Chih Lin | Kuang Yuan Tung
Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 16-24
With the increasing amount of network throughput and security threat, the study of intrusion detection systems (IDSs) has received a lot of attention throughout the computer science field. Current IDSs pose challenges on not only capricious intrusion categories, but also huge computational power. Though there is a number of existing literatures to IDS issues, we attempt to give a more elaborate image for a comprehensive review. Through the extensive survey and sophisticated organization, we propose the taxonomy to outline modern IDSs. In addition, tables and figures we summarized in the content contribute to easily grasp the overall picture of IDSs. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
An efficient and security dynamic identity based authentication protocol for multi-server architecture using smart cardsXiong Li | Yongping Xiong | Jian Ma | Wendong Wang
Volume 35, Issue 2, March 2012, Pages 763-769
Generally, if a user wants to use numerous different network services, he/she must register himself/herself to every service providing server. It is extremely hard for users to remember these different identities and passwords. In order to resolve this problem, various multi-server authentication protocols have been proposed. Recently, Sood et al. analyzed Hsiang and Shihs multi-server authentication protocol and proposed an improved dynamic identity based authentication protocol for multi-server architecture. They claimed that their protocol provides users anonymity, mutual authentication, the session key agreement and can resist several kinds of attacks. However, through careful analysis, we find that Sood et al.s protocol is still vulnerable to leak-of-verifier attack, stolen smart card attack and impersonation attack. Besides, since there is no way for the control server CS to know the real identity of the user, the authentication and session key agreement phase of Sood et al.s protocol is incorrect. We propose an efficient and security dynamic identity based authentication protocol for multi-server architecture that removes the aforementioned weaknesses. The proposed protocol is extremely suitable for use in distributed multi-server architecture since it provides users anonymity, mutual authentication, efficient, and security. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Mutual information-based feature selection for intrusion detection systemsFatemeh Amiri | Mohammadmahdi Rezaei Yousefi | Caro Lucas | Azadeh Shakery | Nasser Yazdani
Volume 34, Issue 4, July 2011, Pages 1184-1199
As the network-based technologies become omnipresent, threat detection and prevention for these systems become increasingly important. One of the effective ways to achieve higher security is to use intrusion detection systems, which are software tools used to detect abnormal activities in the computer or network. One technical challenge in intrusion detection systems is the curse of high dimensionality. To overcome this problem, we propose a feature selection phase, which can be generally implemented in any intrusion detection system. In this work, we propose two feature selection algorithms and study the performance of using these algorithms compared to a mutual information-based feature selection method. These feature selection algorithms require the use of a feature goodness measure. We investigate using both a linear and a non-linear measure - linear correlation coefficient and mutual information, for the feature selection. Further, we introduce an intrusion detection system that uses an improved machine learning based method, Least Squares Support Vector Machine. Experiments on KDD Cup 99 data set address that our proposed mutual information-based feature selection method results in detecting intrusions with higher accuracy, especially for remote to login (R2L) and user to remote (U2R) attacks. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Anomaly detection in wireless sensor networks: A surveyMiao Xie | Song Han | Biming Tian | Sazia Parvin
Volume 34, Issue 4, July 2011, Pages 1302-1325
Since security threats to WSNs are increasingly being diversified and deliberate, prevention-based techniques alone can no longer provide WSNs with adequate security. However, detection-based techniques might be effective in collaboration with prevention-based techniques for securing WSNs. As a significant branch of detection-based techniques, the research of anomaly detection in wired networks and wireless ad hoc networks is already quite mature, but such solutions can be rarely applied to WSNs without any change, because WSNs are characterized by constrained resources, such as limited energy, weak computation capability, poor memory, short communication range, etc. The development of anomaly detection techniques suitable for WSNs is therefore regarded as an essential research area, which will enable WSNs to be much more secure and reliable. In this survey paper, a few of the key design principles relating to the development of anomaly detection techniques in WSNs are discussed in particular. Then, the state-of-the-art techniques of anomaly detection in WSNs are systematically introduced, according to WSNs architectures (Hierarchical/Flat) and detection technique categories (statistical techniques, rule based, data mining, computational intelligence, game theory, graph based, and hybrid, etc.). The analyses and comparisons of the approaches that belong to a similar technique category are represented technically, followed by a brief discussion towards the potential research areas in the near future and conclusion. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

A survey on trust management for Internet of ThingsZheng Yan | Peng Zhang | Athanasios V. Vasilakos
Volume 42, Issue , January 2014, Pages 120-134
Internet of Things (IoT) is going to create a world where physical objects are seamlessly integrated into information networks in order to provide advanced and intelligent services for human-beings. Trust management plays an important role in IoT for reliable data fusion and mining, qualified services with context-awareness, and enhanced user privacy and information security. It helps people overcome perceptions of uncertainty and risk and engages in user acceptance and consumption on IoT services and applications. However, current literature still lacks a comprehensive study on trust management in IoT. In this paper, we investigate the properties of trust, propose objectives of IoT trust management, and provide a survey on the current literature advances towards trustworthy IoT. Furthermore, we discuss unsolved issues, specify research challenges and indicate future research trends by proposing a research model for holistic trust management in IoT. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
A secure dynamic identity based authentication protocol for multi-server architectureSandeep K. Sood | Anil K. Sarje | Kuldip Singh
Volume 34, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 609-618
Most of the password based authentication protocols rely on single authentication server for the users authentication. Users verification information stored on the single server is a main point of susceptibility and remains an attractive target for the attacker. In 2009, Hsiang and Shih improved Liao and Wangs dynamic identity based smart card authentication protocol for multi-server environment. However, we found that Hsiang and Shihs protocol is susceptible to replay attack, impersonation attack and stolen smart card attack. Moreover, the password change phase of Hsiang and Shihs protocol is incorrect. This paper presents a secure dynamic identity based authentication protocol for multi-server architecture using smart cards that resolves the aforementioned security flaws, while keeping the merits of Hsiang and Shihs protocol. It uses two-server paradigm in which different levels of trust are assigned to the servers and the users verifier information is distributed between these two servers known as the service provider server and the control server. The service provider server is more exposed to the clients than the control server. The back-end control server is not directly accessible to the clients and thus it is less likely to be attacked. The users smart card uses stored information in it and random nonce value to generate dynamic identity. The proposed protocol is practical and computationally efficient because only nonce, one-way hash functions and XOR operations are used in its implementation. It provides a secure method to change the users password without the servers help. In e-commerce, the number of servers providing the services to the user is usually more than one and hence secure authentication protocols for multi-server environment are required. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

A survey on routing techniques in underwater wireless sensor networksMuhammad Ayaz | Imran Baig | Azween Abdullah | Ibrahima Faye
Volume 34, Issue 6, November 2011, Pages 1908-1927
Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are finding different applications for offshore exploration and ocean monitoring. In most of these applications, the network consists of significant number of sensor nodes deployed at different depths throughout the area of interest. The sensor nodes located at the sea bed cannot communicate directly with the nodes near the surface level; they require multi-hop communication assisted by appropriate routing scheme. However, this appropriateness depends not only on network resources and application requirements but also on environmental constraints. All these factors provide a platform where a resource-aware routing strategy plays a vital role to fulfill the different application requirements with dynamic environmental conditions. Realizing the fact, significant attention has been given to construct a reliable scheme, and many routing protocols have been proposed in order to provide an efficient route discovery between the sources and the sink. In this paper, we present a review and comparison of different algorithms, proposed recently in order to fulfill this requirement. The main purpose of this study is to address the issues like data forwarding, deployment and localization in UWSNs under different conditions. Later on, all of these are classified into different groups according to their characteristics and functionalities. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Practical data compression in wireless sensor networks: A surveyTossaporn Srisooksai | Kamol Keamarungsi | Poonlap Lamsrichan | Kiyomichi Araki
Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 37-59
Power consumption is a critical problem affecting the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. A number of techniques have been proposed to solve this issue, such as energy-efficient medium access control or routing protocols. Among those proposed techniques, the data compression scheme is one that can be used to reduce transmitted data over wireless channels. This technique leads to a reduction in the required inter-node communication, which is the main power consumer in wireless sensor networks. In this article, a comprehensive review of existing data compression approaches in wireless sensor networks is provided. First, suitable sets of criteria are defined to classify existing techniques as well as to determine what practical data compression in wireless sensor networks should be. Next, the details of each classified compression category are described. Finally, their performance, open issues, limitations and suitable applications are analyzed and compared based on the criteria of practical data compression in wireless sensor networks. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Classical and swarm intelligence based routing protocols for wireless sensor networks: A survey and comparisonAdamu Murtala Zungeru | Li Minn Ang | Kah Phooi Seng
Volume 35, Issue 5, September 2012, Pages 1508-1536
High efficient routing is an important issue for the design of wireless sensor network (WSN) protocols to meet the severe hardware and resource constraints. This paper presents a comprehensive survey and comparison of routing protocols in WSNs. The first part of the paper surveys state-of-the-art routing protocols in WSNs from classical routing protocols to swarm intelligence based protocols. The routing protocols are categorized based on their computational complexity, network structure, energy efficiency and path establishment. The second part of the paper presents a comparison of a representative number of classical and swarm based protocols. Comparing routing protocols in WSNs is currently a very challenging task for protocol designers. Often, much time is required to re-create and re-simulate algorithms from descriptions in published papers to perform the comparison. Compounding the difficulty is that some simulation parameters and performance metrics may not be mentioned. We see a need in the research community to have standard simulation and performance metrics for comparing different protocols. To this end, the final part of the paper re-simulates different protocols using a Matlab based simulator: routing modeling application simulation environment (RMASE), and gives simulation results for standard simulation and performance metrics which we hope will serve as a benchmark for future comparisons for the research community. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
An intrusion detection and prevention system in cloud computing: A systematic reviewAhmed Patel | Mona Taghavi | Kaveh Bakhtiyari | Joaquim Celestino Júnior
Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 25-41
The distributed and open structure of cloud computing and services becomes an attractive target for potential cyber-attacks by intruders. The traditional Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) are largely inefficient to be deployed in cloud computing environments due to their openness and specific essence. This paper surveys, explores and informs researchers about the latest developed IDPSs and alarm management techniques by providing a comprehensive taxonomy and investigating possible solutions to detect and prevent intrusions in cloud computing systems. Considering the desired characteristics of IDPS and cloud computing systems, a list of germane requirements is identified and four concepts of autonomic computing self-management, ontology, risk management, and fuzzy theory are leveraged to satisfy these requirements. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
A systematic review on clustering and routing techniques based upon LEACH protocol for wireless sensor networksSudhanshu Tyagi | Neeraj Kumar
Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2013, Pages 623-645
In recent years, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as a new powerful technology used in many applications such as military operations, surveillance system, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) etc. These networks consist of many Sensor Nodes (SNs), which are not only used for monitoring but also capturing the required data from the environment. Most of the research proposals on WSNs have been developed keeping in view of minimization of energy during the process of extracting the essential data from the environment where SNs are deployed. The primary reason for this is the fact that the SNs are operated on battery which discharges quickly after each operation. It has been found in literature that clustering is the most common technique used for energy aware routing in WSNs. The most popular protocol for clustering in WSNs is Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) which is based on adaptive clustering technique. This paper provides the taxonomy of various clustering and routing techniques in WSNs based upon metrics such as power management, energy management, network lifetime, optimal cluster head selection, multihop data transmission etc. A comprehensive discussion is provided in the text highlighting the relative advantages and disadvantages of many of the prominent proposals in this category which helps the designers to select a particular proposal based upon its merits over the others. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
A survey on cross-layer solutions for wireless sensor networksLucas D P Mendes | Joel J P C Rodrigues
Volume 34, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 523-534
Ever since wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged, different optimizations have been proposed to overcome their constraints. Furthermore, the proposal of new applications for WSNs have also created new challenges to be addressed. Cross-layer approaches have proven to be the most efficient optimization techniques for these problems, since they are able to take the behavior of the protocols at each layer into consideration. Thus, this survey proposes to identify the key problems of WSNs and gather available cross-layer solutions for them that have been proposed so far, in order to provide insights on the identification of open issues and provide guidelines for future proposals. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Cloud security defence to protect cloud computing against HTTP-DoS and XML-DoS attacksAshley Chonka | Yang Xiang | Wanlei Zhou | Alessio Bonti
Volume 34, Issue 4, July 2011, Pages 1097-1107
Cloud computing is still in its infancy in regards to its software as services (SAS), web services, utility computing and platform as services (PAS). All of these have remained individualized systems that you still need to plug into, even though these systems are heading towards full integration. One of the most serious threats to cloud computing itself comes from HTTP Denial of Service or XML-Based Denial of Service attacks. These types of attacks are simple and easy to implement by the attacker, but to security experts they are twice as difficult to stop. In this paper, we recreate some of the current attacks that attackers may initiate as HTTP and XML. We also offer a solution to traceback through our Cloud TraceBack (CTB) to find the source of these attacks, and introduce the use of a back propagation neutral network, called Cloud Protector, which was trained to detect and filter such attack traffic. Our results show that we were able to detect and filter most of the attack messages and were able to identify the source of the attack within a short period of time. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

An enhanced smart card based remote user password authentication schemeXiong Li | Jianwei Niu | Muhammad Khurram Khan | Junguo Liao
Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2013, Pages 1365-1371
Smart card based password authentication is one of the simplest and efficient authentication mechanisms to ensure secure communication in insecure network environments. Recently, Chen et al. have pointed out the weaknesses of some password authentication schemes and proposed a robust smart card based remote user password authentication scheme to improve the security. As per their claims, their scheme is efficient and can ensure forward secrecy of the session key. However, we find that Chen et al.'s scheme cannot really ensure forward secrecy, and it cannot detect the wrong password in login phase. Besides, the password change phase of Chen et al.'s scheme is unfriendly and inefficient since the user has to communicate with the server to update his/her password. In this paper, we propose a modified smart card based remote user password authentication scheme to overcome the aforementioned weaknesses. The analysis shows that our proposed scheme is user friendly and more secure than other related schemes. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Resource management for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in cloud computing: A surveySunilkumar S. Manvi | Gopal Krishna Shyam
Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 424-440
The cloud phenomenon is quickly becoming an important service in Internet computing. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in cloud computing is one of the most significant and fastest growing field. In this service model, cloud providers offer resources to users/machines that include computers as virtual machines, raw (block) storage, firewalls, load balancers, and network devices. One of the most pressing issues in cloud computing for IaaS is the resource management. Resource management problems include allocation, provisioning, requirement mapping, adaptation, discovery, brokering, estimation, and modeling. Resource management for IaaS in cloud computing offers following benefits: scalability, quality of service, optimal utility, reduced overheads, improved throughput, reduced latency, specialized environment, cost effectiveness and simplified interface. This paper focuses on some of the important resource management techniques such as resource provisioning, resource allocation, resource mapping and resource adaptation. It brings out an exhaustive survey of such techniques for IaaS in cloud computing, and also put forth the open challenges for further research. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Mobile recommender systems in tourismDamianos Gavalas | Charalampos Konstantopoulos | Konstantinos Mastakas | Grammati Pantziou
Volume 39, Issue 1, March 2014, Pages 319-333
Recommender Systems (RSs) have been extensively utilized as a means of reducing the information overload and offering travel recommendations to tourists. The emerging mobile RSs are tailored to mobile device users and promise to substantially enrich tourist experiences, recommending rich multimedia content, context-aware services, views/ratings of peer users, etc. New developments in mobile computing, wireless networking, web technologies and social networking leverage massive opportunities to provide highly accurate and effective tourist recommendations that respect personal preferences and capture usage, personal, social and environmental contextual parameters. This article follows a systematic approach in reviewing the state-of-the-art in the field, proposing a classification of mobile tourism RSs and providing insights on their offered services. It also highlights challenges and promising research directions with respect to mobile RSs employed in tourism. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has sliced potential candidates into 13 categories. While it won't have any impact on the search, what categories would the previous eight coaches fit under? And what one surprising category remains empty?
Former player with no coaching experience…
Norm Van Brocklin – The Hall of Fame quarterback was named as the franchise's first NFL head coach. He pulled a modern-day Jason Kidd and received a head coaching position right after he retired following the 1960 season with an NFL title and MVP honors.
You can cross off this box with a red Sharpie…unless this search is really thorough.
Canadian Football League coach with no NFL experience…
Bud Grant – This worked out well the only time the Vikings crossed the border looking for a head coach. Before Grant was named head coach in 1967, he led the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to four Grey Cup championships. The Hall of Fame coach retired, came back then retired again in 281 games with the Vikings with four Super Bowl appearances, 11 Central Division titles and 12 playoff appearances.
Hey, the Bears went this route last year with Marc Trestman. Just saying.
Offensive assistant on staff with no NFL head coaching experience…
Les Steckel – And you think Leslie Frazier had a short lease? Steckel was fired after one year in what some consider as the worst season in franchise history in 1984 (3-13). The wide receivers coach was Grant's successor after he retired and was the youngest head coach in the NFL at the time (38).
Offensive coordinator on staff with no NFL head coaching experience…
Jerry Burns – Grant's offensive coordinator finally got his chance after he retired for the second time. Named as the head coach in 1986, he went 55-46 overall in six seasons as the head coach. Burns led the team to six playoff games (3-3), including the 1987 NFC Championship game.
College coach with no NFL coaching experience…
Dennis Green – He spent three seasons as Stanford's head coach before becoming the first coach in franchise history to be hired from the college ranks. Green was named coach of the year in his first of 10 seasons (1992) with the Vikings. They earned four Central Division titles and two berths to the NFC Championship game under Green.
Offensive line/assistant head coach on staff that previously played for the franchise with no NFL head coaching experience…
Mike Tice – This is quite the category and one that will probably never see another candidate. Tice became the first Vikings head coach that previously played for the franchise when his tenure began in 2002. He spent four seasons after coaching the final game in 2001 with a 32-33 record. He made one trip to the playoffs.
Offensive coordinator from another team with no NFL head coaching experience…
Brad Childress – Out of all the categories listed, the next head coach could possibly fit here. Childress previously served as the Eagles' offensive coordinator before being named as head coach in 2006. He led the Vikings to consecutive NFC North titles in 2008-09 and lost 31-28 to the Saints in the 2009 NFC Championship game. He was fired after Week 11 in 2010.
Defensive coordinator on staff named interim head coach with no previous NFL head coaching experience…
Leslie Frazier – And we can cross off this category as well. Frazier was fired on Monday after taking over as interim head coach in 2010 for Childress. He finished 21-32-1 during his tenure with one winning record and playoff appearance last year (10-6).
So we have probably five legitimate categories Spielman probably has in his complicated concept of hiring the next head coach looking at the past. What's noticeably missing?
Former NFL head coach…
He said the research suggested there wasn't a category more successful than the other, but the Vikings have never hired someone with previous NFL head coaching experience. Spielman mentioned some of his categories during Monday's press conference and included former NFL head coaching experience a few times.
With a soft deadline of the Senior Bowl (Jan. 25) all these categories could make for a dragged out coaching search.

For TV reporter Rob Koebel, fall from grace led to finding new career
Former WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) investigative reporter Rob Koebel is no longer a journalist.
But he plays one on an episode of USA's "Necessary Roughness," alongside guest star John Stamos.
He also has played a police officer, firefighter and Revolutionary War-era soldier on shows including NBC's "Revolution," the upcoming Fox series "Sleepy Hollow" and CBS' hit summer series "Under the Dome."
"I'd never have believed it if 10 months ago someone had told me I'd be part of a Stephen King-Steven Spielberg event that would be the hottest show of the summer," he said of "Under the Dome." The limited-run series is based on the book by King, and Spielberg is an executive producer.
Koebel appears in five episodes. In one, he plays a cop protecting a disgraced reporter. The irony was not lost on him.
"I didn't give her any tips," Koebel said. "But I think all of us in Chester's Mill," the town where the show takes place, "have a past."
Koebel's recent past is painful. Last August, he was arrested for disorderly conduct by Glendale police at Bayshore Town Center after urinating outside the Apple store. He said the incident was the culmination of a drinking binge triggered by his ex-wife, CNN reporter Christi Paul, talking publicly about emotional abuse during their marriage.
After quitting WTMJ, paying a $124 fine and paying for a broken police radio, Koebel moved to a facility in Greensboro, N.C., to be near family. He spent 90 days in rehab, now lives in a halfway house and is about to collect his 10-month sobriety chip from Alcoholics Anonymous.
Put like that, recovery sounds easy. Of course it wasn't.
"It was horrible. And it's been eye-opening," Koebel said. Two men he went through rehab with have since died of their addictions.
"I'm a recovering alcoholic, something I'll be all my life," Koebel said. "I have a sponsor, I go to meetings and I surround myself with sobriety." AA meetings "for me are like a diabetic having insulin shots."
He said that, while today his "life's not perfect, it's a hell of a lot better than it was when I left Milwaukee."
And yet his past is only as far away as the Google search engine. He said he lost one job after the company looked him up on the Internet. So he began looking for odd jobs. What he learned was that North Carolina has become "a little Hollywood," thanks to state tax credits intended to lure filmmakers to the state.
Koebel enjoyed "Homeland," and when he heard the Showtime series was filmed there, he took a head shot to their casting office. He didn't get a part, but the casting director got him jobs on the Cinemax series "Banshee" and the time-shifting "Sleepy Hollow," on which he played a soldier in flashback scenes — Koebel is seen petting Ichabod Crane's horse — and a firefighter in modern scenes. Another casting director got him on "Under the Dome" and HBO's "Eastbound and Down." He will again appear on "Necessary Roughness," this time as a cop.
And he is waiting to hear about roles in "The Vampire Diaries" and films with Jeremy Renner and Adam Sandler. His roles are what are described as "featured background" characters, usually with no lines. But he dreams of getting a job on a James Bond film if it shoots in a studio the production company is building in Atlanta. Koebel also does video and audio production for the Greensboro Grasshoppers, the Class A affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
None of which would be possible if not for that night at the Apple store, what led up to it and and how he responded.
"All these opportunities come from working the program and doing the right things," he said.
His voice cracked as he talked about reconnecting with his brother and becoming an uncle. As for becoming a reporter again, "Never say never. Should people have trusted me at that time? No. But I think you can earn that back."
And though he laughed when I asked what advice he would give the disgraced reporter on "Under the Dome," Koebel wrote back to say that he would tell her: "Even if the stress gets too much on the job in Chester's Mill, don't drink it away. And if you do, stay away from the Apple store."
So far, the only local casualties of the retransmission dispute between Journal Broadcast Group and Time Warner Cable are two digital subchannels: 999, a weather service, and 994, a lifestyle channel. The stations remain available over the air. Both sides continue to negotiate rights for the cable service to carry WTMJ-TV programming. But Channel 4 could be removed from the Time Warner lineup if an agreement is not reached by the end of the ratings sweeps on July 24. During a sweeps period, stations are protected from being removed from a pay-service lineup.

Nation and World Briefs
2nd American Ebola victim arrives
An American aid worker infected with Ebola arrived Tuesday in Atlanta, joining a second patient being given an experimental treatment that has never before been tested on humans.
Nancy Writebol, 59, traveled from Monrovia, Liberia, to Emory University Hospital, just downhill from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She arrived two days after Kent Brantly, a doctor with whom she had worked in Liberia and who also contracted Ebola, showed up for treatment.
The differences were stark in how they went from the ambulance to Emory, which has a highly specialized isolation unit. While Brantly, 33, was able to walk with assistance into the hospital, Writebol — covered from head to toe in a protective suit — was wheeled in on a stretcher.
Still, the 59-year-old Writebol was described as weak but showing signs of improvement.
"A week ago we were thinking about making funeral arrangements for Nancy," her husband, David Writebol, said in a statement read by the president of SIM USA, the aid group with which she was working in Liberia. "Now we have a real reason to be hopeful."
KENTWOOD, Mich.
Boy fatally stabbed at playground
A 9-year-old boy was repeatedly stabbed in the back by a 12-year-old boy at a playground, then ran screaming to his western Michigan home and collapsed bleeding on his porch, witnesses and police said Tuesday.
Michael Conner Verkerke died at a hospital shortly after the Monday evening attack in Kentwood, outside Grand Rapids. Witnesses said the 12-year-old boy went to a nearby home after the stabbing, called 911 and calmly turned himself in, then tried to flag down officers when they arrived.
The 12-year-old pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in juvenile court on Tuesday, according to his attorney. He was ordered held in a juvenile detention center.
Barb Poelman told The Associated Press she was sitting on her deck in the Pinebrook Village mobile home park when "we heard the kids run across the front ... screaming. He (Michael) ran with the kids that were with him."
She said the boy's mother was distraught, pleading for help as she lay on the grass outside the family's home.
Cuba to US: Halt 'covert' program
The Cuban government on Tuesday called on Washington to halt hostile "covert" operations against it in the wake of the recent disclosure that an Obama administration program secretly sent young Latin Americans to Cuba on politically motivated missions.
A top Cuban diplomatic official, Josefina Vidal, said an Associated Press investigation this week reveals that the U.S. government "has not desisted in its hostile and interventionist plans against Cuba, which seek to create destabilizing situations to provoke changes in our political order."
Vidal demanded the U.S. "cease, once and for all, all its subversive, illegal and covert actions against Cuba" in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. She noted the U.S. government has "shamelessly acknowledged" running the program.
The project, funded and overseen by the U.S. Agency for International Development, deployed nearly a dozen young people from Latin America to Cuba to recruit political activists under the guise of health and civic projects. AP's investigation found the operation put the foreigners in danger not long after an American contractor was arrested in the communist island nation for doing secretive work.
The Obama administration this week defended its use of an HIV-prevention workshop for its Cuban democracy-promotion efforts, but disputed that the project was a front for political purposes. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the program "enabled support for Cuban civil society, while providing a secondary benefit of addressing the desires Cubans express for information and training about HIV prevention."
DONETSK, Ukraine
Residents fill shelter as fighting nears
For the people huddled in a dank and chilly bomb shelter Tuesday, the question of who was responsible was less important than the fact of their misery.
Two journalists from The Associated Press joined Donetsk residents who spent the night in the shelter as fighting between government forces and separatist insurgents closed in on the outskirts of the largest rebel-held city.
The rebels accuse Ukrainian forces of conducting a brutal bombing campaign against Donetsk; the government denies using artillery against residential neighborhoods. Either way, many Donetsk residents have been spending their nights underground in the hopes that they'll be safer.
The people wrapping themselves in blankets Tuesday said it mattered little who was responsible for the bombing. Some glumly read newspapers to pass the time, and one read a poem she wrote about her neighborhood's ordeal.
"Bombs and rockets; how much more can we take?" Galina Dudkina recited. "Empty streets, the cries of dogs, the meowing of cats that were left behind."MORE IN Wire NewsBAGHDAD Iraqi forces battled Islamic State militants for a third day on Tuesday in a remote...

Many of the computer programs I am told will do this change for you when you select the Bb trumpet from its menu.
Now yes, the notes are the same sound.
I do like to start with what a pianist calls a middle C as would sit on a ledger line between the Treble clef (G clef) and the bass clef (F clef), but visible only if it is there. Then alternating line and space ascend the the alphabet D in the space below the Treble clef, E on the lowest line of the Treble clef, F in the first space and G on the second line, then alternating start over with A in the second space followed by B on the middle line, C in the third space, D on the fourth line, E in the fourth space, and F on the top line continuing to alternate ascending above the treble clef. What you will then see is that ascending there are only 7 notes A thru G ... easier than the full alphabet.
Back to that "invisible" middle C, you could decend into the bass clef alternating again B,A,G,F,E,D,C,B,A, such descent reversing the ascent, and again on ledger lines (too invisble unless there are notes there) below the bass clef.
It's another lesson to introduce you to sharps and flats and to a natural symbol.
In copy of music you have to a computer program, it is just that "copy". If a note is a whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note or a 32nds note, such is what you must copy and on the same space or line. Look also for notes which have a dot following them (as add the time of half the value of the note before the dot to that note).
Have fun and enjoy ... learning isn't instant ... I'm still learning, and have been playing brass horns since the 5th grade, age 11 which was in 1947.

I always make sure students are having fun learning and actually understanding the material.
I was looking for a math tutor for my daughter who had just finished 8th grade. I found Cassandra on Wyzant. I wanted a younger female, someone my daughter could relate to and feel comfortable with. Cassandra was a great choice! My daughter says Cassandra was very patient, and explained the material in ways my daughter could understand. My daughter and I are BOTH looking forward to a better school year with math! Cassandra made her realize it's not impossible, and she CAN do it. I will also say Cassandra was flexible to work with, and very professional. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor.
Cassie is helping me learn a lot and she is very understanding of my skill level and is only helping me improve. I'm lucky to have found her as a tutor.
Cassandra has been very effective tutoring my granddaughter. She worked with my grand daughter to identify her ability and her needs. She communicates her plan of action to both of us. She sets reasonable expectations for each session and assigns appropriate homework. We appreciate the emailed lesson updates, too. Thanks Cassie!
Approved subjects are in bold.

For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Shuttleworth to Continue Sponsoring Ubuntu
Mark Shuttleworth, the main sponsor of Ubuntu, may continue to fund the Linux distribution for a few more years.
In an interview with Computerworlduk.com, the South African billionaire explained that Ubuntu vendor Canonical might have an annual revenue of a few million dollars, but it's hardly enough to cover its costs. He goes on to say that it would likely take another three to five years to make it profitable.
Shuttleworth doesn't see any reason to deviate from the company's current business model. Because desktop sales are no longer key revenue sources, services are "the only way to build businesses around Linux." Despite his concern about the current economic crisis, he voices confidence in his blog that it can only help the Linux business model rather than harm it.
In the past, Shuttleworth has always claimed to pursue no commercial plans for Ubuntu. There was never to be a cost-based version; the distribution was to remain free

THE SECRET AGENT Related Links:

MoMA: To Save and Project
A newly minted 16mm archival print, made possible in part by Women's Film Preservation Project, was exhibited as part of the sixth edition of To Save and Project: MoMA's annual International Festival of Film Preservation.
Producers: Daniel Keller and Jacki Ochs
The terror and dangers of chemical and biological weapons have never been greater than they are today. Their pivotal use in modern times was during the war in Viet Nam. Agent Orange, sprayed over Viet Nam to demolish jungles, as well as in the United States to control weeds, contained a powerful deadly contaminant dioxin.
Using striking archival and war footage, interviews with veterans, scientists, attorneys, the V.A., and Dow Chemical Company, The Secret Agent documents the extraordinary history of chemical warfare and agricultural herbicides, the effects on our environment, the plight of all those exposed, and the tragic legacy of the American spray program.
This film is a co-production between Human Arts Association and Green Mountain Post Films.
Website: with new trailer at VietnamTheSecretAgent.com
Reviews & Endorsements:
...excellent...a tough, angry look at the consequences of exposure to Agent Orange...a chilling issue that is effectively addressed here.
The Secret Agent is grim stuff that leaves a viewer disquieted and fearful he's seeing only the tip of a very big iceberg.
DAILY NEWS, Earl Caldwell
It is a powerful film that has the kind of information on Agent Orange that a jury should have listened to in a courtroom.
... the year's most terrifying horror movie. It perfectly captures the moral dilemma of a nation that sent young men to war in Asia and then watched some of them die when they got home.
... one of the most incisive and damning documentaries ever made about corporate abuse in this country.
Jacki Ochs' award-winning documentary The Secret Agent received the Special Jury Prize from the Sundance Film Festival and premiered at the New York Film Festival, among many other honors. Her film Letters Not About Love, based on a correspondence between a Russian and American poet, received Best Documentary Feature from the SXSW Film Festival and Visionary Artist Award from Huntington International Film Festival. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. Most recently Jacki Executive produced the award winning Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till and produced 9/12: From Chaos to Community. Her work has been broadcast worldwide.

Kesslers testify in campaign leak case
Judge, husband fight ethics complaints
For the first time since she won a nasty election in 2004, state Court of Appeals Judge Joan Kessler has talked about the ethics complaints that have dogged her since that campaign.
Kessler and her husband, state Rep. Fred Kessler (D-Milwaukee), are still battling lawyer regulators' accusations that they lied to an investigator reviewing tactics they employed against her opponent, incumbent Charles Schudson.
Both testified under oath before a referee in Joan Kessler's discipline case on Thursday.
The hearing pitted their claims of her ignorance and his spousal secrecy against a special counsel's argument that all the circumstantial evidence indicates the couple's assertions that the candidate was completely out of the loop are "simply not true."
A complaint in June charged Joan Kessler with lying in 2004 about whether her campaign had a role in filing an ethics complaint against Schudson and leaking it to reporters a month before the election.
Kessler's reputation and the integrity of the lawyer regulation system hinge on the outcome, attorneys for both sides said.
Joan Kessler, a former U.S. attorney and partner at Foley & Lardner, testified that two months after her election she still had no clue her campaign was involved in the late 2003 complaint against Schudson.
Schudson says he apologized to the Judicial Commission, acknowledging he improperly used his office by writing a letter in support of a lighter sentence for a friend convicted in federal court.
The secret Judicial Commission complaint was reported by the Journal Sentinel in March 2004 and was quickly featured in Kessler's radio and TV ads in the last weeks before the April election.
Schudson complained to lawyer regulators, but special investigator Bruce Rosen didn't interview Joan Kessler about the matter until June 8. He testified that he showed her the complaint, filed by a Mary Moser, a friend of Fred Kessler. He showed her the attached Schudson letter, which Joan Kessler had obtained months earlier and given to her husband, and a federal docket report that bore her firm's account number.
Rosen said Joan Kessler became "stoic" when showed these documents and told Rosen no one connected to her campaign had anything to do with the complaint.
Counsel for the lawyer regulation system, Paul Schwarzenbart of Madison, suggested that Kessler must have known at that moment her campaign was likely involved.
Kessler said mental wheels were turning, dots were probably starting to connect, but that she "wasn't going to speculate" to Rosen without further research. As soon as Rosen left, she said Thursday, she called her husband, who told her he in fact had gotten Moser to file the complaint. Joan Kessler had her lawyer call Rosen the same day to correct her answer to his question.
Kessler said she was "astonished" by her husband's revelation, almost in shock. "I would have wanted to know what was in the works."
Fred Kessler, a veteran politician first elected in 1960, testified that he deliberately never told his wife.
"I'm a pretty skilled political person," he said, "and felt Joan might disagree" with having Moser file the complaint. "I frankly felt it was a winning issue and I used my own judgment."
Schwarzenbart asked Joan Kessler why, if she knew of the improper Schudson letter in September 2003, she didn't alert the Judicial Commission herself. She said she had planned to use the issue only later in her campaign, at lawyer forums; she didn't think the general electorate would understand the impropriety.
But someone leaked the complaint, and it was reported in March.
In the story, Kessler's spokesman Todd Robert Murphy said no one in the campaign was involved. Kessler said Thursday she never asked him or her husband anything about the complaint, not even why Murphy hadn't told her about the complaint first; he told reporters he became aware of it two weeks before the news story.
Rosen, a highly regarded Madison lawyer, testified that his review of facts left him with the opinion the Kesslers lied, but that he didn't feel he could ethically file a complaint because he did not believe he had "clear and convincing evidence" of misconduct.
A special review panel disagreed, and ultimately a different investigator filed the complaint in June.
Joan Kessler's attorney, Thomas Shriner, has repeatedly sought dismissal of the complaint. He suggests the five-year delay has political implications because Kessler is up for re-election next year. At Thursday's hearing he called the case against her "weak beyond the vanishing point," and suggested the Lawyer Regulation System doesn't even believe in it, or it wouldn't be limiting its recommendation to a private reprimand.
John Schweitzer, the Madison lawyer acting as referee, said he expects to report to the state Supreme Court in 30 days. He could recommend dismissal or find a violation. The high court makes the final call.

Injured hiker died after being found
RESERVE, N.M. An Orange County hiker who got lost in western New Mexico and was found by hunters died before rescuers could get him to safety, four days after his father died while monitoring the search, a law enforcement official said Friday.
When hunters found Stephen Lockhart on Sunday, the 43-year-old Costa Mesa man was lying on the ground. He was conscious but incoherent and had a head wound, possibly from a fall, Catron County Undersheriff Ian Fletcher said.
The hunters went for help, but Lockhart died during the several hours it took responders to hike to the remote site, Fletcher said.
Lockhart got separated from a friend Oct. 19 while hiking from a campsite to a lookout point, and a search began after he was reported missing the next day.
Lockhart's 70-year-old father, Ray Lockhart of Huntington Beach fell ill and collapsed at the hikers' camp Oct. 23 while searchers were looking for his son.
The father received attention from a state police officer and a paramedic with the search team, but he died in an ambulance en route to a hospital.
The air and ground search for Stephen Lockhart was suspended that evening, Fletcher said.

We discuss these issues in conditions of health, fatigue, and disease states. This chapter introduces physical neuroergonomics as the emerging field of study focusing on the knowledge of human brain activities in relation to the control and design of physical tasks.
One of the important functions of the human brain is the control of motor activities, combined with perceptual, cognitive, and affective processes. Half a century ago, Sperry proposed that the main function of the central nervous system is the coordinated innervation of the musculature, and its fundamental structure and mechanisms can be understood only on these terms. We provide an introduction to this topic in separate sections on the human brain in control of muscular performance in the work environment and in motor control tasks.
