Dear Mr. Occom//
ways to hear of your health and prosperity and have never failed
of a disposition to promote your usefulness and your
Comfort, but to use the same freedom which You
approve and set me an example of, I must tell You
I either very much want a good spiritual taste
or your letter has a very ill savor for a Christian
or rather if I have any good taste at all, it much
savors of pride, arrogance and a want of proper
concern to heal the bleeding wounds of our
glorious Redeemer. You discover very great Ig
norance of my plan, my object, my reasons and
motives, my views and prospects, and as great a
degree of uncharitableness as of ignorance. You
show no degree of brotherly and Christian Sympathy
towards me in my long and weary travail, notwith
standing your nation have been invariably my
chief object, nor any disposition to encourage
my Heart or strengthen my hands, though un
der a weight heavy enough to crush an Angel,
and in a Cause which has been and still is, so
astonishingly owned of God —
To Rev. Mr. Occom
August 15th 1771 —
And though my memory be poor, yet matters which
impress my mind, as the following particulars have
done, I am far from imagining that I have only
dreamed about them viz 1st when I saw you after
your return from Europe I proposed your going on a
mission among remote tribes, as those near you
were a[illegible]nder the care of and supplied by the
London Board in Boston. you insisted upon your
staying at home one Year, I proposed your
making a settlement for yourself and Wife and part
of your family among some remote na[illegible][guess: ]tion,
and promised you my assistance, and friend[illegible]ship as to your
comfortable support there, You rejected the proposal.
I offered to take part of your Children, viz all
that were suitable for it, if you pleased and educate
them in the best manner I could in my School,
You showed no disposition to comply with it. 2ndly
I never discouraged your going into the Indian
Country, nor showed any coldness towards it, unless
when you proposed only just to make a short
visit, which I was not sure would answer the
expense which You let me know would be necessary
to prepare You for and support you in it —
my Heart always open to supply you as soon
as I could see your Heart in earnest to serve
the Redeemer's Cause in that capacity.
4thly the first I ever heard of your being dis
posed to seek a settlement in the wilder
ness, was by Mr. Woodward last Winter,
Whereupon I wrote a judicious Christian
friend, to inquire of your moral Charac
ter, and advise whether it was such, as that
I might with honor to the Redeemer's,
Cause employ you, and hoped to hear, that
which might warrant my proceeding
thereto. And there is nothing wanting at this
time, but proper satisfaction that it
may be done without reproach to the Re
deemer's Cause, in order to engage all my
heart and powers therein. 5thly I believed
your brother David did very sinfully in leaving
the Cause in the wilderness as he did.
and that his treatment of me was very ungenerous
and abusive, the particulars whereof I have
told him. I have constantly wished to
been propense to forgive and restore him, and am so
at this moment, thus I have given you a
little sketch of things as they lie in my
mind. My dear Man, I think you much dis
honor God, in treating his great goodness to You
in opening such a favorable door to go on your
so much improving and advantageous tour to Europe
almost as though you had gone through a most tragical
Scene of persecution. I am now got near my
journey's end, and long to be at rest, God grant
we may both appear before him, washed in
the Redeemer's blood and clothed with his white
With Love to You and Mrs. Occom
I am yet Your friend and Well wisher
Eleazar Wheelock
Consideration, or as much as you mention, provided he be in
earnest engaged to promote the Cause proposed. I am weary
of connections with Men in whom there is no Faith.
Eleazar Wheelock was a New Light Congregationalist minister who founded Dartmouth College. He was born into a very typical Congregationalist family, and began studying at Yale in 1729, where he fell in with the emerging New Light clique. The evangelical network that he built in college propelled him to fame as an itinerant minister during the First Great Awakening and gave him many of the contacts that he later drew on to support his charity school for Native Americans. Wheelock's time as an itinerant minister indirectly brought about his charity school. When the Colony of Connecticut retroactively punished itinerant preaching in 1743, Wheelock was among those who lost his salary. Thus, in 1743, he began operating a grammar school to support himself. He was joined that December by Samson Occom, a Mohegan Indian, who sought out an education in hopes of becoming a teacher among his people. Occom's academic success inspired Wheelock to train Native Americans as missionaries. To that end, he opened Moor's Indian Charity School in 1754 (where he continued to train Anglo-American students who paid their own way as well as students who functionally indentured themselves to Wheelock as missionaries in exchange for an education). Between 1754 and 1769, when he relocated to New Hampshire, Wheelock trained approximately 60 male and female Native American students from nearby Algonquian tribes and from the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) of central New York. At the same time, he navigated the complicated politics of missionary societies by setting up his own board of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge, although he continued to feud with the Boston Board of the SSPCK and the London Commissioners in Boston (more colloquially called the New England Company). By the late 1760s, Wheelock had become disillusioned with the idea of Native American education. He was increasingly convinced that educating Native Americans was futile (several of his students had failed to conform to his confusing and contradictory standards), and, in late 1768, he lost his connection to the Haudenosaunee. With his inclination and ability to sponsor Native American missionaries largely depleted, Wheelock sought instead to fulfill his ultimate ambition of obtaining a charter and opening a college, which he did in 1769. To fund this new enterprise, Wheelock drew on the £12,000 that Samson Occom had raised for Moor's Indian Charity School during a two-and-a-half year tour of Great Britain (1765 to 1768). Much of this money went towards clearing land and erecting buildings in New Hampshire for the Charity School's relocation — infrastructure that also happened to benefit Dartmouth. Many of Wheelock's contemporaries were outraged by what they saw as misuse of the money, as it was clear that Dartmouth College was not intended for Indians and that Moor's had become a side project. Although Wheelock tried to maintain at least some commitment to Native American education by recruiting students from Canadian communities, the move did a great deal of damage to his public image. The last decade of Wheelock's life was not easy. In addition to the problems of trying to set up a college far away from any Anglo-American urban center, Wheelock experienced the loss of relationships with two of his most famous and successful students, Samson Occom and Samuel Kirkland (an Anglo-American protégé). He also went into debt for Dartmouth College, especially after the fund raised in Britain was exhausted.
Samson Occom was a Mohegan leader and ordained Presbyterian minister. Occom began his public career in 1742, when he was chosen as a tribal counselor to Ben Uncas II. The following year, he sought out Eleazar Wheelock, a young Anglo-American minister in Lebanon, CT, in hopes of obtaining some education and becoming a teacher at Mohegan. Wheelock agreed to take on Occom as a student, and though Occom had anticipated staying for a few weeks or months, he remained with Wheelock for four years. Occom's academic success inspired Wheelock to open Moor's Indian Charity School in 1754, a project which gave him the financial and political capital to establish Dartmouth College in 1769. After his time with Wheelock, Occom embarked on a 12-year mission to the Montauk of Long Island (1749-1761). He married a Montauk woman, Mary Fowler, and served as both teacher and missionary to the Montauk and nearby Shinnecock, although he was grievously underpaid for his services. Occom conducted two brief missions to the Oneida in 1761 and 1762 before embarking on one of the defining journeys of his career: a fundraising tour of Great Britain that lasted from 1765 to 1768. During this journey, undertaken on behalf of Moor's Indian Charity School, Occom raised £12,000 (an enormous and unanticpated amount that translates roughly to more than two-million dollars), and won wide acclaim for his preaching and comportment. Upon his return to Mohegan in 1768, Occom discovered that Wheelock had failed to adequately care for his family while he was gone. Additionally, despite the vast sums of money that he had raised, Occom found himself unemployed. Wheelock tried to find Occom a missionary position, but Occom was in poor health and disinclined to leave his family again after seeing the treatment with which they had met while he was in Britain. Occom and Wheelock's relationship continued to sour as it became apparent to Occom that the money he had labored to raise would be going towards infrastructure at Dartmouth College, Wheelock's new project, rather than the education of Native Americans. After the dissolution of his relationship with Wheelock, Occom became increasingly focused on the needs of the Mohegan community and increasingly vocal in criticizing Anglo-Americans' un-Christian treatment of Native Americans. In September of 1772, he delivered his famous "Sermon on the Execution of Moses Paul," which took Anglo-American spiritual hypocrisy as one of its major themes, and which went into four printings before the end of the year. In 1773, Occom became further disillusioned when the Mason Land Case was decided in favor of the Colony of Connecticut. The details of the Mason Case are complicated, but to summarize: the Colony of Connecticut had gained control of Mohegan land early in the 18th century under very suspect circumstances, and successfully fended off the Mohegan's 70-year-long legal challenge. The conclusion of the case came as a blow to the Mohegans, and further convinced Occom of Anglo-American corruption. Along with David Fowler (Montauk Tribe), Occom's brother-in-law, and Joseph Johnson (Mohegan), Occom's son-in-law, Occom helped found Brothertown, an Indian tribe formed from the Christian Mohegans, Pequots, Narragansetts, Montauks, Tunxis, and Niantics. They eventually settled in Oneida country in upstate New York. Occom moved there with his family in 1789, spending the remaining years of his life serving as a minster to the Brothertown, Stockbridge, and Mohegan Indians. Harried by corrupt land agents, the Brothertown and Stockbridge groups relocated to the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago, though Occom died in 1792 before he could remove himself and his family there. Occom's writings and legacy have made him one of the best known and most eminent Native Americans of the 18th century and beyond.
Bezaleel Woodward was an integral figure at Dartmouth College and the greater Hanover community; and like that of Eleazar Wheelock, Woodward's career consisted of a blend of education, religion, and local affairs. After attending Moor's and graduating from Yale in 1764, he became a preacher. Upon his return to Lebanon in late 1766, he began to hold various positions at Moor's and became the first tutor of college department in 1768. Woodward later was a professor of mathematics and natural philosophy at Dartmouth College, as well as a member and clerk of the Board of Trustees. In 1772, he solidified his connection to Wheelock even further by marrying Wheelock's daughter, Mary. Woodward also held numerous titles outside of the school. He was an elder of the Presbytery and attained multiple appointments in the local court system. A natural leader, Woodward was an influential member and clerk of several committees, representing both Hanover and the Dresden college district. He was thus a leading figure in the Western Rebellion, promoting several towns' secession from New Hampshire and union with Vermont. Although Woodward resigned from his professorship in 1778, supposedly disassociating himself from Dartmouth while he engaged in politics, it was merely a formality. Upon Wheelock's death, Woodward acted as president of the college from April to October 1779. Woodward continued to perform many of the executive tasks even after Wheelock's son and successor, John Wheelock, took over the position, and also held the late Wheelock's post of treasurer. Claiming to be finished with politics, he officially returned to Dartmouth as tutor in 1782, and performed the president's duties while Wheelock was abroad in 1782 and 1783. Nonetheless, Woodward continued to participate in local affairs — in 1783 he unsuccessfully attempted to have the New Hampshire General Assembly approve Dresden's status as a separate town; and in 1786, he became the county treasurer and register of deeds. Woodward remained a prominent figure at Dartmouth and the surrounding area throughout his life. He was, for instance, involved in the construction of Dartmouth Hall in 1784, and was part of the committee formed in 1788 to regulate the contested use of the fund raised by Occom and Whitaker in Great Britain for Moor's. Woodward died August 25, 1804, at the age of 59.
David Fowler was Jacob Fowler's older brother, Samson Occom's brother-in-law, and an important leader of the Brothertown Tribe. He came to Moor's in 1759, at age 24, and studied there until 1765. While at school, he accompanied Occom on a mission to the Six Nations in 1761. He was licensed as a school master in the 1765 mass graduation, and immediately went to the Six Nations to keep school, first at Oneida and then at Kanawalohale. Fowler saw himself as very close to Wheelock, but their relationship fragmented over the course of Fowler's mission, primarily because Wheelock wrote back to Kirkland, with whom Fowler clashed, but not to Fowler, and because Wheelock refused to reimburse Fowler for some expenses on his mission (767667.4 provides the details most clearly). Fowler went on to teach school at Montauk, and played a major role in negotiations with the Oneidas for the lands that became Brothertown. He was among the first wave of immigrants to that town, and held several important posts there until his death in 1807.
Mary Occom (née Fowler) was a Montaukett woman who married Samson Occom. Although information about her is limited and often comes from male, Anglo-American sources, it offers a tantalizing glimpse of her strength, as well as an alternative to the Eleazar Wheelock-centered narrative of Occom's life that often dominates the latter's biography. Mary was born into the influential Fowler family at Montauk, Long Island. She met Samson during his missionary service there (1749-1761). Mary studied at Samson's school along with her brothers David and Jacob, and was almost certainly literate. She and Samson married in 1751. Wheelock and several other Anglo-American powers opposed their union because they worried it might distract Occom from being a missionary (as, indeed, family life did), and thus many scholars have read in Samson and Mary's marriage an act of resistance against Samson's domineering former teacher. Little information about the minutiae of Mary's life survives, but existing sources speak volumes about her character and priorities. In front of Anglo-American missionaries visiting the Occoms' English-style house at Mohegan, Mary would insist on wearing Montaukett garb and, when Samson spoke to her in English, she would only reply in Montaukett, despite the fact that she was fluent in English. Mary Occom was, in many ways, Wheelock's worst fear: that his carefully groomed male students would marry un-Anglicized Indian women. It is not a stretch to imagine that Mary provided much of the incentive for Wheelock to begin taking Indian girls into his school, lest his other protégés replicate Samson's choice. Much of our information about Mary comes from between 1765 and 1768, when Samson was fundraising in Great Britain. Despite promising to care for Samson's wife and family (at the time they had seven children), Wheelock, by every objective measure, failed to do so, and Mary's complaints are well documented. Hilary Wyss reads in Wheelock's neglect (and in letters from the time) a more sinister story, and concludes that on some level Wheelock was holding Samson's family hostage, in return for Occom curtailing his political beliefs on the Mason Case. Wyss also notes Mary's remarkable survivance in this situation. Mary drew on various modes of contact, from letters to verbal communication with influential women (including Sarah Whitaker, the wife of Samson's traveling companion, and Wheelock's own daughters), to shame Wheelock into action and demand what she needed. One of the major struggles in Mary's life, and in Samson's, was with their sons. Both Aaron and Benoni failed to live up to their parents' expectations. Aaron attended, and left, Moor's Indian Charity School three times, and both Aaron and Benoni struggled with alcohol and refused to settle down. The Occom daughters did not cause similar problems. Given the nature of existing sources, little is known about Mary after Samson and Wheelock lessened their communication in 1771. Joanna Brooks has conjectured that Mary was likely influential in Samson's Mohegan community involvement later in life, for instance, in his continued ministry to Mohegan and, perhaps, his increasingly vehement rejection of Anglo-American colonial practices.

Camilla Belle
Jump to
From a prolific childhood acting career in family entertainment and made-for-TV movies, Camilla Belle went on to become a star with edge-of-your-seat teen date offerings "When a Stranger Calls" (2006), and "The Quiet" (2005). But Belle simultaneously cultivated art house street cred with a mature performance opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" (2005), even as she rocketed into "It" girl status playing a cave woman in "10,000 B.C." (2008) and a psychic government operative in the sci-fi thriller "Push" (2009). A radiant but natural beauty who avoided the trappings of young Hollywood, Belle entered her twenties with a string of dramatic, multi-dimensional leading characters - including the Virgin Mary - that suggested the actress had a long and promising career beyond multiplex entertainment.

The group wakes up in the morning and hears the news about Helghan. They were saddened to hear this, but they made the right choice of leaving and bringing the cure to Ba Sing Se. As they got up, someone knocks on the door and Aria answers the door.
"Hello," Aria said.
"Hello, my name is James. I'm a friend of Eric," James said.
"Nice to meet you James. My name is Aria. So what brings you here?"
"Eric told me you had the cure. I came to pick up to mass produce it."
"Yes we have the cure. You should come in." James walks in and meets the others.
"This room looks small for four people. I thought the Avatar could afford a better room."
"It's the only place we could find. Besides it's not that bad," Nazo said.
"So James is there other people who are going to help mass produce this cure?" Aria asked.
"No, my factories are going to be the only places that will mass produce it. Eric doesn't trust the other people here."
"Why doesn't her trust them?" Ash asked.
"I told him about some of the rumors that were going around. The biggest one is that the Earth King made a deal with the Chimera."
"Why would he make a deal with the Chimera?" Mia asked.
"To keep Ba Sing Se safe. Come to think of it, we haven't been attacked for months. The Chimera would always attack us every two weeks."
"They could be preparing for a large attack. That's what happened at the Fire Nation Capital," Nazo said.
"You could be right. Ba Sing Se is the one of two biggest cities still standing. The other being Republic City. We have to do something soon or we all be wiped out."
"I got a plan."
"What's your plan Nazo?" Aria asked.
"Well it's not my plan. It's more like the Black Hood's."
"Why would you listen to that crazy man's plan?" Mia asked.
"Just listen to it first. He said the Chimera are just mindless drones controlled by the Pure Chimera. The Pure Chimera are lead by a Grand Master. If we take out the Grand Master, then the Pure Chimera will fight each other to take his place."
"That sounds like a stupid plan. First we don't know who the Grand Master is and we don't know where it is," Ash said.
"I do know who the Grand Master is. You know that Pure Chimera we meet at the tower near Omashu?"
"I remember that thing," Aria said.
"The Black Hood said he's the Grand Master and he might be in a hub tower."
"What's a hub tower?" Mia asked.
"It's a main tower. All towers are connected to a hub tower. If a hub tower is destroyed then all the towers connected to it will be destroyed," James said.
"Still he could be in any of the hub towers. How do we know which one?" Ash asked.
"It will be tough to find him. I agree with the Black Hood's plan. We should at least try it."
"I can't believe you want to go with it."
"It's the only plan we have right now."
"I guess we have to convince the Earth King to agree with this plan," Aria said.
"It's going to be hard to convince him. It will also take time to get a meeting with him," James said.
"James can I ask you a question?" Mia asked.
"What's your question?"
"Do you know where I could go to get information on my father?"
"I don't know any place. We sent a few ships to go rescue your father and the others when we find out about the Fire Nation Capital. They haven't come back yet."
"I hope they got him."
"Well I better get going. The cure isn't going to mass produce it's self." Eric took the cure and left the room. Ash and Aria went to check up on Blaze, while Mia and Nazo went for a walk. Mia was still worried about her father and Nazo tried to comfort her. They arrived at the docks and see ships arriving. Mia was wondering if these ships were the rescue ships the Earth King sent to rescue her father. They got near the ships and saw people walking out of the ships. They soon realized that ships that came in were shipping boats. A man saw them and came up to them.
"Do you happen to be the Fire Lords daughter?" the man asked.
"Yes I am. Why do you ask?" Mia asked.
"I saw your face once in the paper and I just wanted to be sure. I have to tell you something and you might want to sit down." When they herd that, they knew it wasn't good news. They both sat on a bench and listen to what the man had to say. "I was fishing when I saw Fire Nation ships. I knew they were from the capital because the lead ship looked like the Fire Lords ship. Then a Chimera Kraken came out of the water and attacked the ships. The Earth Kingdom rescue ships soon arrived, but they stood no chance. I wanted to help, but I couldn't. I would have gone down with them. I started to leave, before the Kraken could see me. I doubt any one would have survived that. Even if they did, I believe they would have been finished off by Chimera Furies. I'm sorry for your lost."
"Does any one else know?" Nazo asked.
"I just got back. Soon everyone will know about what happened." The man left and Nazo looked at Mia. She was crying and placed her head onto Nazo's chest. Nazo hugged her and started to think about the question she asked him a few days ago. He knew he had to give her an answer soon. Ash and Aria see them and wonder why Mia was upset. Nazo tells them what happened and they all started to comfort her. After calming Mia down they started to walk around the city.
They went to different places and meet many people. They all enjoyed themselves, except for Mia. She was too upset and couldn't stop thinking about her father. She also started to think about her mother as well. She started to head back to the hotel, not wanting to ruin every ones fun. Nazo wanted to go back with her, but Ash and Aria tell him not to follow her and she needed time alone. As they were walking around, Ash and Aria see that Nazo has disappeared.
They're not sure if he went back to the hotel or he had to use the bathroom. Ash went back to the hotel, while Aria looked around the city. Ash arrived at the hotel and found that Nazo wasn't there. He and Mia left the hotel and started to look around the city. They were all getting worried and thought something bad happen to him. As Aria was walking by a jewelry store, she saw Nazo in the store. She was happy to find him, but was confused by the fact he's in a jewelry store. Nazo didn't care for jewelry, but then she remembered the question Mia asked. She knew why he was in there and waited for him to come out.
When he came out, she scolds him for leaving them. Nazo apologized and she forgives him, knowing why he left them without telling them. They meet up with Ash and Mia and they weren't happy for what he did. He apologizes to them and then a man came up to them.
"You're the friends of James right?" the man asked.
"Why do you want to know?" Nazo asked.
"He said he wants to meet you at the Earth Kings palace."
"I guess he got permission to meet the king."
"Then lets go meet the king," Ash said. They get onto Blaze and fly to the Earth Kings palace. When they arrived they see James and walk up to him."
"Did you get permission to talk to the king?" Aria asked.
"No I didn't, but the king has a secret," James said.
"How do you know?" Nazo asked. James earth bends some walls down and they see the Earth King talking to a Pure Chimera. They were shocked to see this and they walk up to the Earth King to ask what's going on.
"What are you doing here? You had no right to do what you did," the Earth King said.
"So you were making deals with the Chimera you traitor," Mia said.
"You don't know what you're talking about. I'm no traitor."
"How's making a deal with the Chimera not make you a traitor?"
"Maybe you should listen to what he has to say," the Pure Chimera said. Nazo recognized the voice and knew that the Pure Chimera was the same one he met before.
"It's good to see you again Diablo," Nazo said.
"So you know my name. It's good to see you again Avatar."
"You don't belong here."
"You should be happy that I'm here. You should be happy to know that you won't be whipped out."
"What do you mean?"
"I made a deal with him. He will leave Ba Sing Se alone, as long as we let leave the Chimera alone," the Earth King said.
"How could you make a deal like that? You're letting the Chimera kill people. How could you give up?" Mia asked.
"We have no chance. We can't defeat the Chimera."
"I think we can. We can end this war right now," Nazo said looking at Diablo. Diablo knew what Nazo was up to and wrapped himself around the Earth King.
"If you attack me, he will die. You should all leave right now," Diablo said.
"How about you leave. You don't belong here."
"I will leave. As long as you don't attack me."
"Fine, just leave." Diablo let the Earth King go and left the city. The Earth King got up and looked at the group. He told them to leave and he wasn't going to change his mind about the deal.
"We have a plan that could defeat the Chimera. Don't you want to hear it?" Ash asked.
"I will listen to your plan. I heard a million plans before, but none could defeat the Chimera," the Earth King said.
"Trust me sir, this plan will work," James said. They told the Earth King the plan and it sounded similar to him. He tells them he heard of this plan before, but believed it wasn't worth the risk. He said he would think about it and left the room. Ash and Aria headed back to the hotel, while Mia and Nazo went to a park. They walked around the park, but stopped when they were near a lake.
"Mia, you know the question you asked me?" Nazo asked.
"Yes I remember," Mia said.
"I have my answer."
"What is it?" Nazo grabbed her hand and slipped a ring on. Mia knew his answer and was very happy. She hugged him and the two share a kiss.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method, system, and program for transferring data between servers through a client computer over a network.
2. Description of the Related Art
Today, consumers may purchase numerous products, services, and financial instruments, e.g., stocks, bonds, indexes, options, etc., using an Internet web browser, e.g., NETSCAPE Communicator, the MICROSOFT Internet Explorer, etc.** Consumers also use various search engine services available on the Internet that locate different sales agents for a product to allow price comparisons. One disadvantage of purchasing products on-line over the Internet is that the buyer is not assured that the price is fair. For instance, if a consumer is using a web browser to purchase stock from an on-line brokerage over the Internet, the consumer may be concerned that the price the brokerage is displaying or selling to the consumer is not the current price of the stock. To find the current price when the transaction occurs, the consumer would have to access the centralized exchange to determine the real-time price when the transaction, e.g., sale or purchase, was executed. NETSCAPE is a registered trademark of the Netscape Communications Corporation; WINDOWS, MICROSOFT, and ACTIVEX are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation; JAVA is a trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Recently, the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Arthur Levitt expressed concern that investors may not be getting the best prices when trading securities online over the Internet. Mr. Levitt said that a central exchange that could inform consumers of current prices would help alleviate unfair pricing concerns.
A similar concern arises in the context of purchasing airline tickets on-line from an on-line travel agent. Again, consumers may be concerned whether the price they are getting is "fair" or the best price they can get in the context of the price set by the airline carrier. Moreover, when purchasing very expensive products, such as jewelry, an automobile, etc., the consumer may be concerned whether the price they are being charged from the on-line agent selling the product is "fair" or the best they can do.
Such consumer uncertainty over the fairness of the "price" being charged may discourage on-line purchases.
For these reasons, there is a need to provide mechanisms to make consumers confident about the fairness of the price they are being charged for a product.
Provided is a method, system, and program for transferring data from a first server to a second server through a client computer over a network The client performs downloading and displaying content in a first page from the first server and downloading and displaying content in a second page from the second server including transfer data to communicate to the first server. The client computer displays the transfer data with the content from the first page and communicates the transfer data to the first server.
In further implementations, a first program is activated in response to processing the first page. User input selection is received to access the transfer data with the first program. The first program issues a request to download and display the content from the second server including the transfer data. A second program is activated in response to processing the second page. The second program communicates the transfer data to the first program and the first program displays the transfer data with the content from the first page.
In certain electronic commerce implementations, the network comprises the Internet, the first server is used by a sales agent to allow a consumer at the client computer to purchase a product over the Internet, and the second server is maintained by a source originating the product and providing a price for the product to be used by the sales agent. In such case, the transfer data comprises price data for the product and the sales agent uses the price data communicated to the first server to determine a price to charge the consumer for the product.
The described implementations provide a technique to allow data displayed at a client computer from different servers to be transferred from one server to another through the client computer, wherein the data being transferred is displayed at the client computer to allow a user of the client computer to view the data being transferred. Such implementations may be used in electronic commerce environments where price data needs to be communicated from a source of a product, e.g., a manufacturer (e.g., consumer product manufacturer), security trading exchange (e.g., the NASDAQ, NYSE, etc.), service provider (e.g., Airline carrier, etc.), etc., to a sales agent to use as the price to charge a consumer. In the described implementations, the consumer is allowed to view an authenticated price from the product source before the price is transferred to the sales agent server to use as the price to charge the client for the product.
Referring now to the drawings in which like reference numbers represents corresponding parts throughout:
In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and which illustrate several embodiments of the present invention. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural and operational changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The consumer computer 2 would execute in memory (not shown) a browser program 10, such as the Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Explorer browser program. The user would manipulate the browser program 10 graphical user interface (GUI) to download a source web page 12 from the product source server 4 and an agent web page 14 from the sales agent server 6, wherein each page 12 and 14 includes code capable of being rendered by the browser program 10, e.g., HTML, extensible markup language (XML), Dynamic HTML (DHTML), etc. The source web page 12 includes a current price of the product as set or determined by the product source of the product or service the consumer is purchasing through the sales agent server 6. The source web page 12 includes code to activate a source program 16 to write the current price data 22 to a shared memory object 20 in a memory region of the consumer computer 2.
The agent web page 14 includes code to activate the agent program 18 to read the current price data 22 written to the shared memory object 20 and display the price data 22 to show that the sales agent intends to use the price as presented by the product source in computing the cost to the consumer.
In the described implementations, the source 16 and agent 18 programs are activated through the browser program 10. Thus, the source 16 and agent 18 programs may be implemented using browser compatible programming architectures known in the art, such as the Microsoft ActiveX controls, Java Applets, JavaBeans, etc.** In such case, the source 12 and agent 14 pages include code to activate the source 16 and agent 18 programs to perform the operations described herein. For instance, if the source web page 12 comprises a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) page, then the HTML object element is used to add ActiveX controls to the source web page 12. The HTML object element includes a set of PARAM elements that specify which data the control should use and to control the appearance and behavior of the control. For the source web page 12, the PARAM element may comprise the current price information, such as the price per unit of the product the consumer wants as well as a time stamp for the price, and an address of the shared memory object 20 in the consumer computer 2 memory. Note that in the case of Java implementations, the Java source 16 and agent 18 programs may be downloaded from the product source server 4 and sales agent server 6, respectively, and executed from the browser program 10, which in such embodiments is a Java enabled machine. In the case where the source 16 and agent 18 programs are implemented as ActiveX controls, the ActiveX controls may be stored locally on the consumer computer 2 and activated through code in the web pages 12, 14, such as the HTML object element.
In the example of
With reference to
With the above described implementation, consumers obtain an authenticated price quote from the source of the product or service being purchased that is then used directly to determine the price the sales agent charges the consumer. This implementation facilitates Internet commerce because the consumer can immediately engage in the online transaction and be assured that the price they are being quoted is a "fair" price set by the source or manufacturer of the product.
Following are some alternative implementations.
The preferred embodiments may be implemented as a method, apparatus or program using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof. The term "article of manufacture" (or alternatively, "computer program product") as used herein is intended to encompass one or more computer programs and data files accessible from one or more computer-readable devices, firmware, programmable logic, memory devices (e.g., EEPROMs, ROMs, PROMs, RAMs, SRAMs, etc.), hardware, electronic devices, a readable storage diskette, CD-ROM, a file server providing access to the programs via a network transmission line, wireless transmission media, signals propagating through space, radio waves, infrared signals, etc. Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize that many modifications may be made to this configuration without departing from the scope of the present invention.
In the described implementations, the information downloaded from one server comprised price information displayed in a user interface window that is transferred to another program displaying content in another user interface window. In alternative implementations, the servers 4 and 6 may not be involved in commercial transactions and the information communicated from one program to another through the consumer computer may not comprise price information. For instance, the computer 2 may display user interface windows including content from databases and/or applications in two different servers, where data displayed in one of the windows from one of the servers is communicated to the other server.
In the described implementations, the systems 2, 4, and 6 communicated over the Internet 8. In alternative implementations, the systems 2, 4, and 6 may communicate over networks other than the Internet, such as a local area network (LAN), Intranet, USENET, etc.
In the described implementations, the price information communicated to the consumer computer 2 was authenticated using a trusted certificate authority. Alternatively, the price information may not be certified and may be communicated in an uncertified manner from the product source server 4 to the consumer computer 2.
In the described implementations, the content of the source 12 and agent 14 web pages were displayed using a browser program 10 known in the art. In alternative implementations, the source 16 and agent 18 programs may utilize user interface mechanisms other than a browser window to display the content of the source 12 and agent 14 web pages. In such case, the windows 52 and 54 may be implemented using user interface technology other than a browser program that is capable of downloading and displaying the content of pages from over a network such as the Internet. For instance, the agent program may download the price certificate from the product source server 4 and display the price data in a user interface window that is not a browser generated window.
In the described implementations, the price was transferred from the digital certificate displayed in the window 52 to the window 54 through a shared memory object 20. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that many other techniques may be used to allow one application program to communicate data, such as price data, to another executing application that do not involve shared memory.
In the described implementation, a separate agent program accessed the price data and updated the browser 54 to display the price data. In alternative implementations, the functions performed by the source 12 and agent 14 programs may be implemented in a single program activated by code from the agent web page 14. Alternatively, the source 12 and agent 14 programs may comprise one or more programs, methods, functions, or routines that perform the operations described herein as source and agent program functions.
In the described implementations, the consumer caused the price data to be communicated to the window 54 using the "Accept Price" button 58 (
In the described implementations, the price data is communicated to the agent locally through the resources of the consumer computer 2. In alternative implementations, the source program 16 may issue a request over the Internet 8 to the sales agent server 6 providing the price data 22 and, in response, the sales agent server 6 would assemble a new agent web page with the price data 22 from the product source server 4 to transfer to the consumer computer 2 over the Internet 8 to display to the user.
In the described implementations, the content in the source 12 and agent 14 pages conforms to the HTML file format. However, alternative file formats for interchanging documents of networks may be used, such as Dynamic Hypertext Mark-Up Language (DHTML), the Extensible Markup Language (XML), Cascading Style Sheets, any other Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), or any other language known in the art for creating interchangeable, structured documents. Further, any version of HTML may be used, including version 2.0, 3.2, 4.0, etc. In yet further embodiments, the requested file may be in any other file format, i.e., other than an SGML type format, capable of being displayed or otherwise downloaded and displayed in the browser application.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention has been presented for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. It is intended that the scope of the invention be limited not by this detailed description, but rather by the claims appended hereto. The above specification, examples and data provide a complete description of the manufacture and use of the composition of the invention. Since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.

Hey, im going to make use of something i posted the other day to explain why my art sucks quite a lot:
All my life ive done various art related things, but ive never done things from life or with any level of realism before. When i left school i stopped doing art altogether and since then all ive done is web design, im hoping to go back into education and do art & design, thats why im picking up a pencil and doing some quick sketches, i need to start again somewhere.
I feel making a sketchbook here will help me re focus myself on real art.
All crit is welcome, but please remember that these ARE sketches and not pieces of work, also take note that i am extremely 'new' to art. The last time i tried to do stuff like this i must have been 12 years old.
^ Refs were Grays anatomy, i need to find/buy some proper art books asap.
Thats it for the moment, i will have more up when i have more sketched

The Pegasus is a famous winged horse from Greek Mythology. At least one Pegasus is located in the Realm of Fantasy.
When the Ghostbusters, Slimer and the Last Dragon arrived in the realm, they sighted the Pegasus before it flew off.
Like in most modern portrayals of the Pegasus, it has a horn and looks like a flying unicorn, but Pegasuses in Greek Mythology was just a horse with bird-like wings.

Board of Directors
Heidi Nedreberg, President
Heidi has been a member of the FRIENDS board since 2011 and became president of the board in 2014. At the time she joined the board, she managed communications and education programs for The Nature Conservancy in Utah, and was eager to be involved in FRIENDS' robust education programming. However, in spite of her frequent visits to the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve in this role, Heidi's Lake knowledge and experience was still somewhat limited. In an effort to get up to speed and be the best board member possible, she embarked on a Lake exploration and blogging project called Summer of Salt, with the express purpose of spending the summer visiting as much of the Lake as possible. Over the next three years, this project helped her develop an intimate relationship with the Lake, and made her a more passionate advocate for its protection. "I admire and value FoGSL's approach to protecting the Lake – by building relationships with stakeholders, reaching out to new groups with an interest in the landscape (such as artists and sailors), and bringing all of these people to the table, we are better able to tell the story of the Lake and protect it from the various myriad threats to the water, landscape, plants, animals, and people that call it home." Heidi holds a B.S. in Communications from Southern Utah University, and a Master of Professional Communication from Westminster College, and now works in marketing and communications for Intermountain Healthcare. When she's not working with FoGSL, Heidi enjoys getting outside, travelling, spending time with her family, playing music in 2-3 bands, cooking, and gardening.

She joined the Board of FRIENDS in 2012 after serving as FoGSL's Education & Outreach Director for three years. In her spare time, Emily enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and their two dogs.
Cindy Lund, Treasurer
My love of Great Salt Lake began when I signed up to volunteer at The Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve through The Nature Conservancy several years ago. I was one of the first Naturalist Guides at the preserve and through the training I learned the significance and beauty of Great Salt Lake. When I signed up I had no idea how important the surrounding wetlands, playas and other habitats were to the millions of birds that rely on this Lake. In fact, I didn't know there were millions of birds out there nor did I understand the huge economic impact the Lake makes here in Utah. Over the years I have learned that a balance is needed between the environmental health and economic health of the Lake. Not too long after my Shorelands Preserve training I was on a plane landing at the Salt Lake International Airport when I overheard a conversation that made me realize how many people are like I was – unaware of what Great Salt Lake is. A women asked a Utahn in the seat next to her "Is that the Great Salt Lake?" and the Utahn replied, "Yes, but there is nothing out there, it is a dead sea." Wow!
Despite my newfound love of the Lake, I soon discovered that being a Naturalist Guide was not my strong suit. I continued to work with The Nature Conservancy through other volunteer positions but I began to feel I wasn't doing enough to protect the Lake. In 2009 I became the treasurer for FRIENDS of Great Salt Lake and through this organization as an active board member I have learned more about the Lake than I ever thought possible… and I am still learning. To me, FRIENDS is the voice of the Lake and I am honored to be a part of that voice.

St. Bernard Parish may be near a settlement with the family of a young Mississippi boy who died in 2013 after contracting a rare brain-eating amoeba at a home in Violet — an incident that triggered heavy scrutiny of much of Louisiana's aging water infrastructure.
Public health experts contended at the time that insufficient chlorine levels likely contributed to the presence of the amoeba in parts of the parish's water supply.
The boy, Drake Smith Jr., apparently contracted the Naegleria fowleri amoeba on a Slip 'N' Slide at a mobile home.
The rare brain-eating amoeba turned up at four sites in the parish's water supply later in 2013 — including at the Violet home — which prompted the parish to begin flushing its water lines with additional chlorine to minimize the threat of the single-celled organisms.
That lasted for months. By early 2014, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals said sampling from nearly a dozen sites in St. Bernard had turned up no signs of the amoeba, which has killed at least three people in Louisiana since 2011.
It cannot be contracted by drinking water, only if it enters the body through the nose and is pushed into the brain.
The wrongful-death lawsuit, filed in federal court in New Orleans by Smith's family, had been set for trial this week, but both sides recently agreed to a six-week delay as settlement talks continue.
Any decision on a settlement or paying a judgment would first need to be approved by the St. Bernard Parish Council, which is slated to meet Tuesday and to discuss the lawsuit in an executive session.
Attorneys for Smith's parents say he likely contracted the deadly amoeba around July 17, 2013. About 10 days later, he had a fever and nausea, was vomiting and suffering seizures, and was admitted to Tulane Medical Center's pediatric ICU. He underwent extensive testing and died Aug. 1.
The lawsuit, which seeks more than $75,000 in damages, was filed in December 2013. The boy's hospital stay cost almost $330,000, according to the suit.
In late 2013, state health officials issued an emergency rule that required most water systems in the state to maintain a higher level of disinfectant, the first change in required chlorine levels in nearly two decades. Since then, the amoeba also has been found in treated water in St. John the Baptist Parish as well as in DeSoto Parish in northwest Louisiana.
The new regulation increased the minimum disinfectant level to 0.5 milligram per liter of water throughout any parish water system, an amount believed to be effective in controlling the amoeba. Earlier regulations had required water systems to have merely "trace" or "detectable" levels of chlorine.
Pat Fanning, an attorney representing St. Bernard in the case, argued in court filings that the parish is not responsible for Smith's death.
Attorneys for the boy's family allege that chlorination levels at the parish's water distribution plant were low, due in part to a malfunctioning valve on the ammonia tank, which briefly had to be shut down. "Despite being aware of the inadequate chlorination levels, defendant (St. Bernard) failed to notify residents ... about the severely low levels of chlorine residuals," the family's lawsuit contends.
Being able to show that the parish knew about the problem yet failed to act could be key if the case goes to trial, according to one courtroom observer.
"You would have to prove that the parish knew or should've known that the problem existed and they had an opportunity to correct it," said Baton Rouge attorney Vincent DeSalvo, who is not associated with the case.
In response, the parish has denied that the ammonia tank's valve was faulty, or that the parish's aging water infrastructure was affected by low water pressure or suffered from contamination due to breaks or repairs.
Parish officials insist they were unaware of any issues until after the boy's death and that they did not hold back on informing the public of any potential concerns.
Jessica Hayes, a New Orleans attorney who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the family, said they learned about the faulty valve through parish records and in depositions with parish workers. "It came up pretty frequently," she said.
Hayes said the faulty valve wasn't a long-term issue, but that it "happened basically around the couple weeks preceding Drake's death," and was eventually fixed over a couple days.
But she said the valve problem wasn't likely the smoking gun that led to the spread of the amoeba.
"From our side, we would say it was a lot of things going on in St. Bernard Parish culminating in just a difficult process for water treatment," she said, alluding to the parish's steep population decline in the years since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
If a settlement isn't reached in the next few weeks, Hayes expects the case could still go to trial this summer. "Just knowing bureaucracy, I would say that it's still very much a possibility that it will go to trial," she added.

There are websites that operate just like Craigslist. Dealers and private parties advertise on them. Some require a CC or purchase permit to buy, many do not. I have only bought one gun that way. I emailed the guy with my phone number. We talked for quite awhile because he is stationed at Bragg and so the conversation was about more than the gun. He told me he found out about the site and it was the first time he used it, he was a little nervous about how to handle the transfer of ownership.
I told him I would provide a photo copy of my drivers license and he would have to provide me with his receipt. If he was comfortable with that I would buy the gun. I met him at his apartment and wrote out a bill of sale on the copy of my ID. We printed our names and signed it including the serial number of the gun I kept a copy and the original receipt signed by him to me. I have decided to get my conceal and carry just to make it easier in the future. That will also allow me to have the gun loaded in my truck when I am going out to shoot. I highly doubt I will ever carry one on me. I have never purchased one at a gun show~

Ravens RB Justin Forsett bought 55-inch TVs for his offensive line
Christmas came early for the starting offensive line of the Baltimore Ravens courtesy of Justin Forsett. The running back bought his line and tight end Owen Daniels 55-inch televisions for the holiday.
Forsett, 29, joined Baltimore prior to the 2014 season. He has rushed for 1,147 yards and eight touchdowns this year, both career-highs.
The running back, who has played the majority of his career in Seattle, makes the veteran's minimum salary. After his best year in the league, however, he decided to re-pay the offensive line that made his success possible.
Got a chance to play Santa Clause for my O-Line this morning. Really thankful for these guys #RavensNation— Justin Forsett (@JForsett) December 24, 2014
The new televisions will be useful for watching the NFL postseason come January if the Ravens fail to beat the Browns this Sunday.
