INDIANAPOLIS -- The Eagles are proving how much they want to keep Trey Burton.
The team is placing a second-round tender on the 25-year-old tight end, a league source confirmed to CSNPhilly.com. This will prevent Burton from becoming an unrestricted free agent. The Boston Herald first reported the move.
It's not surprising at all the Eagles are going to place a tender on Burton; they think very highly of the young tight end. But the important part about this is the level at which they did.
Basically, there are three levels of tenders. A first-round tender, a second-round tender and an original-round tender. Because Burton is a restricted free agent, any team can sign him to an offer sheet, but the Eagles would have a chance to match. If they don't match, the Eagles would get a second-round pick from the team getting Burton. That's very likely not going to happen.
Placing a second-round tender on a guy like Burton is essentially ensuring that he'll be with the team in 2017 at a cap hit of around $2.8 million for the year. The original-round (or right of first refusal tender) would have cost around $1.8 million, but wouldn't have the same protection.
It's possible the tender could be temporary. According to a league source, the Eagles tried to sign Burton to a long-term deal during last season but the two sides couldn't reach an agreement.
Burton is coming off a career year in 2016. Coming into the year he had just three career catches, but in 2016 had 37 for 327 yards and a touchdown. And he was again a huge contributor on special teams.
If Burton continues to progress and the Eagles do sign him to a multi-year deal, they could have a duo of young and talented tight ends to help franchise quarterback Carson Wentz grow.
The Eagles' only other restricted free agent is running back Kenjon Barner.

Bill Shive remembers when his father bought the red station wagon brand new at Earl Hayes Chevrolet in downtown Dallas. That was 40 years ago, and about 180,000 miles later Shive still has the 1960 Brookwood Chevy.
It serves as both a reminder and symbol to Shive, the longtime tennis coach at Mackenzie Junior High in Lubbock: A reminder of his days as a youngster growing up in central Texas that has come to symbolize his dedication to young tennis players.
Generations of junior high players have journeyed across Lubbock and the South Plains in ''Ole Red'' as Shive transported them to practice and matches. They swarmed on the car for their annual team picture before the auto was retired in 1983 after 17 years of service.
But the 57-year-old Shive goes on, coaching tennis, serving as the LISD junior high tennis coordinator, teaching history and trying to influence his budding athletes.
''I just think I can make more of an impact on junior high age kids,'' Shive said recently after he completed his 33rd year at Mackenzie. ''That's just an age at which they're still developing, and they can make some mistakes in their life. I just feel like that 12-, 13-, 14-, 15-year-old youngster is just a pretty important person.''
That caring attitude gets through to Shive's tennis players.
''He helped us with more than just tennis,'' said Tanya Hamilton, who played at Mackenzie from 1982-84 and won a state doubles title at Coronado in 1987. ''He helped us with life lessons, too. Teaching us about life, respecting each other, being nice to each other.''
Andy Clark played for Shive from 1973-76.
''He motivated us through caring about us and caring about everything else about us other than tennis,'' Clark said.
A mid to late 1970s Mackenzie Junior High tennis team poses with Ole Red, the 1960 Chevrolet station wagon which became a symbol of excellence during Bill Shive's days as the team's coach.
Special to the A-J
Shive has coached Mackenzie teams to 23 girls and 18 boys city tennis championships since arriving on campus in the fall of 1967 only a couple of years out of Howard Payne.
His hair is now shorter, and quite a bit more gray, but his tennis game and dry sense of humor are intact.
''I'm still not the greatest player in the world, but I'm not a whole lot worse than I was,'' he said, a smile emerging across his face. ''I can't say I'm a step slower when I was pretty slow to start with.''
Shive was inducted into the Texas Tennis Coaches Association Hall of Fame last December and a plaque honoring him is in the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in Waco. He is the only junior high coach in Texas to be so honored.
That's not bad for an ''old country hacker'' who learned the sport in the seventh grade by stroking a tennis ball off an outside wall of his parents' garage in Early, Texas.
''I ended up being able to hit the ball off the sheet rock on the garage,'' he said. ''It worked pretty well for me, and I thought that was a lot of fun.''
Shive also gets a kick out of coaching boys and girls and then, years later, their children. For example, Ashley Johnson will be a seventh-grader at Mackenzie in August. Her father, Mike, and his sisters, Missy, Tracey and Jenny, all played for Shive in the 1970s and 80s.
Local dentist Scott Mahaney, who played at Mackenzie in the 1980s, said he'd be happy to have Shive coach either of his two daughters if the 2- and 3-year-olds eventually turn to tennis.
''He is one of the nicest guys I know,'' Mahaney said. ''He cared about each one of his players, which you don't get from a lot of coaches.''
A lot of coaches also don't turn to a former student for dental work, but Shive is happy to have Mahaney as his dentist.
''Every once in a while you'll have a student and you say, 'If he was a doctor, I'd go to him,' '' Shive said. ''Scott was one of those students.''
Shive and his wife, Jo, don't have any children of their own, but their family grows with every new batch of eager tennis players.
''I've always felt like I had a ton of kids, because I go to a lot of weddings and a lot of things that involve my former players,'' Shive said.
Years later, Hamilton is still impressed with the fact that the Shives traveled to Austin to watch her and Lara Mahaney win their doubles crown. And Shive made a sizable impression on Clark when the former player's father passed away last summer.
''Of all the teachers I had, coach Shive was the one there for the funeral, and I hadn't even told him about it,'' Clark said.
Shive's other passion is teaching Texas history. He came to Lubbock instead of accepting a teaching position in Edna, Texas, because he was offered the specific combination of Texas history and tennis coach. Recently, though, he has switched to teaching world history in the classroom.
''It's been good for me,'' he said. ''I found out that the Middle East is not really Tyler, Lufkin, Waco and Longview.''
Shive, who spends his summers with his wife among pecan and oak trees at the home where he grew up, admits he has to be more flexible with junior high athletes than 20 or 30 years ago.
''You still have a certain number of really loyal, dedicated hard-working youngsters that will listen and really give you their best,'' he said. ''But it doesn't seem like the level of dedication and work on a general scale is as great as it used to be. I see a lot of slack off there not with all the youngsters, but with a good amount.''
Still, Shive has only a vague notion of retirement: ''I've done this for all or part of five decades. I don't think there's going to be a sixth decade.''
He plans to be back on the Mackenzie courts and in his classroom this fall.
''I still enjoy it,'' he said. ''It's fun. I seem to have a high energy level, so I thought that we'd just go with it, take it in stride and see how it comes.''
Could Shive follow in the treadmarks of Ole Red? The old car once had its left rear wheel fall off while Shive was taking a bunch of kids to practice.
''I guess you could say we drove the wheels off,'' he said with a grin.
Until that day, though, Shive will continue to build a legacy dedicated to helping youngsters in the classroom and on the court.
''He is tennis at Mackenzie,'' Hamilton said. ''Whoever has to come fill those shoes ... that will be awfully, awfully tough.''

Torrential storms have hit us this past week and the river continues to rise - the highest we've ever seen this early in the year. We can stand on my parents' porch and see it, about a quarter-mile away.
Tuesday evening while we were watching a movie we could see the sky turning that strange yellow color it does when a storm is moving in. I stepped out on the porch and heard the hail coming before I even knew what it was. A minute or so later, wham - we were pelted with hail and then rain as this huge thunderhead moved over us and then up Church Canyon.
Pictures don't do it justice - the thunderhead was stacked and swirling, very impressive to watch. And it filled our rain barrel screen with hail.
Last night we walked the dogs down to the river to see how high it was (this is rural entertainment). The Island (on the right, above) is barely sticking up out of the water and the "boat ramp" at the end of the road is way, way under. Not sure what this means for our summer weather.
Keith's been after me for a week or so to thin the lettuce growing in the grain drill, but I just have a mental block against pulling up plants that I deliberately planted (silly, I know), so I told him to go for it I ended up with a tiny bowl of microgreens (I didn't want to take the time to wash them for 2 bites.)
The tulips under the apple tree are withstanding the rain quite well and now the apple and pear trees are in bloom.

- Hello Eduard.
I met a brown horse I hadn't met before - I was so agitated, it was
watching me coming from distance; and when I just started pouring
stuff out, it leant its head down to my lowered head, and rested its
soft fleshy muzzle on my forehead. Only after that did I feed it
some carrot. Now I feel much surer I'm headed in the right
direction. Hope this makes some sense. I need a coffee.

G-Spotting Trailer (2011)
"A Story of Pleasure and Promise" 01 January 2011 Factual, Foreign 52 mins
This fun and witty documentary feature seeks to answer the decades-old question of whether the G-spot (named after German gynecologist Ernest Grafenberg) is a myth or reality. The film also tackles the question of its location within the female genitalia. Sparked by a study written by Andrea Burri (King's College, London) in which she denounces the physical existence of a G-spot, narrator Ségolène Hanotaux sets out to interview numerous authors, citizens, subject experts, geneticists, and therapists about the subject matter thus sparking a renewed interest in this debatable arena.
Watch the official G-Spotting 2011 trailer in HD below or find more G-Spotting videos on Vidimovie.

Hi, people!
I wrote my own solver to solve electromagnetic problems. This program solves set of curl Maxwell equations. and now I am testing it solving problems for resonators. I used it for quite complicated geometry as cross-like volume, it works fine even for quite coarse mesh.
Then I decided to test it for cylindrical geometry, but I failed. I got really unstructured mesh and for this mesh solution exponentionally grows to infinity. Everything that I changed is structured ortogonal mesh to unstructured non-ortogonal mesh.
Could anyone give me advice or any assumption how this problem can be solved?
Thank in advance.

Well, it basically says that y
Well, it basically says that your mesh is good. That means your choice of discretisation is probably not adequate.
I am not familiar with Maxwell equations (the curl form). Are they parabolic or hyperbolic, linear or nonlinear?
State your discretisation schemes for the different terms. Also, what solvers are set for different variables? (system/fvSchemes, system/fvSolution)
A simple discretisation that w
A simple discretisation that works fine on cartesian grids will fail badly on non-structured grids. I have worked only with liquid-metal MHD, which is easier than the full Maxwell's. Already then you need to make sure you conserve a lot of things. You may for example have to compute certain terms on the faces, to assure that face fluxes are conservative. Then cell centre values can be reconstructed from face fluxes (there's a reconstruct method for that). It's not trivial, and I think you would probably have to skim the literature for algorithms.
If your new geometry is cylinder symmetric, however, you can still make an orthogonal grid in cylindrical coordinates... Maybe your simple discretization might be enough then.
Hi, all! Thanks greatly for
Hi, all!
Thanks greatly for your replies!
You are absolutely right, Ola, I found in one paper (Edelvik, F. 2002. Hybrid Solvers for the Maxwell Equations in Time-Domain. Acta
Univ. Ups. Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology) that it is near to impossible to construct a non orthogonal mesh for which FVTD solver for Maxwell equations will be stable. ( It can be, but there's no guarantee that it will in each case). Different technics can be used, but they also do not guarantee that solver will be stable. So it is non-trivial problem to solve.
Thank you for cooperation,

For the 2,000 residents of Huaxi, East China, on the surface life seems to be paying off well. Each individual is given their own home, money in their bank account ($143,000 U.S. dollars to be exact) and a shiny new car.
Amongst other benefits to living in Huaxi – just two hours away from Shanghai – are the use of private helicopter taxis, elaborate theme parks, exquisite art museums, and some of the most luxurious prosperity ever witnessed by humans.
But life might be too good to be true because if residents ever want to leave China's "richest village" – guess what? There is a pretty serious catch that comes with this luxurious lifestyle package…
Activist Gu Zhijian said to New Tang Dynasty Television: "Wu is special. He took advantage of the government's desire for an exemplary village [to showcase] the social system of public ownership."

The present application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 09/968,393, filed Oct. 1, 2001 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,757,684.
The present invention relates to electronic storage and sharing of digital images, and more particularly to an improved photosharing architecture.
Over the past several years, photosharing has become widely accepted by photo enthusiasts. Many websites currently exist that allow users to upload digital images to the site for storage on a server and for viewing by others over the Internet. To share photos, users must first register on a photosharing website, and create an image album in which to store their images. The user typically selects a theme for the image album and selects one or more images to upload to the site from their PC. The images are then uploaded to a server for storage and associated with the selected album. After creating the image album, the user may optionally rename and/or edit each photo.
Metadata, which is typically associated with an image or group or images, is typically supported by photosharing sites. This metadata is restricted in that users cannot define new metadata fields or are limited to a fixed number of "user defined" fields. Metadata support usually does not extend much beyond that defined by the Exif image file format standard. Searches are usually limited to only a subset of the limited metadata that is supported by a site.
The user may then notify others of the album using one of two methods. In the first method, the user sets preferences for the album specifying what users have permission to view the album, and personally informs each person of the web address of the album. In the second and more common method, the user types-in the e-mail addresses of each person the user wants to view the album and the photosharing site automatically sends an e-mail inviting recipients to view the album by clicking on the enclosed URL.
Although the current approach to photosharing works for its intended purpose, there are some areas where the traditional server centric photosharing falls short. Those areas include the difficulties users encounter when attempting to upload images to the site, and the cumbersome process of organizing images once on the site. Due to these difficulties, users predominantly store the majority of their images on their local PC, and upload only those images that they really wish to share with others. Because the shortcomings of current photosharing sites force users to store some of their images on their PCs and other images on the photosharing site, the usage model for web-based photosharing is unnecessarily complicated.
Another problem associated with current photosharing websites is the infrastructure cost inherit in hosting such a space intensive application on a single site. Not only do traditional photosharing sites require vast amounts of disk space to store the photos of all their users, but the owners of the websites must also incur the cost of redundant disk space that is used for backup purposes. Based on high infrastructure costs and the increasing number of users, it is believed that most photosharing sites will pass on this cost to users by transitioning from a free service to a monthly subscription fee model. Charging a fee for using photosharing websites may actually inhibit the widespread adoption of such sites.
Accordingly, what is needed is an improved photosharing architecture. The photosharing architecture should solve both storage and usability problems, and alleviate infrastructure requirements for photosharing. The present invention addresses such a need.
The present invention is a method and system for providing a network-based photosharing service. The photosharing service includes a central photosharing site known as the peer server, and a plurality of peer nodes each containing digital images. The method and system include associating metadata with each image that is to be shared. The images are shared by uploading the metadata associated with each image from the peer nodes to the peer server, while maintaining storage of the images on the respective peer nodes. In response to the peer server receiving search criteria based on the metadata submitted from a first one of the peer nodes, the peer server returns a list of image locators for images matching the search criteria to the first peer node. The method and system further include dynamically generating on the first peer node an image album that contains at least a portion of the matching images.
According to the method and system disclosed herein, the present invention provides a network-based photosharing architecture that solves both storage and usability problems, while greatly enhancing searching capabilities.
The present invention relates to a method and system for providing a web-based, peer-to-peer photosharing service. The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and is provided in the context of a patent application and its requirements. Various modifications to the preferred embodiments and the generic principles and features described herein will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features described herein.
The present invention provides an improved network photosharing service that solves storage problems encountered by photosharing service providers and also solves photo sharing usability problems encountered by users of the service. The present invention provides a web-based, peer-to-peer photosharing service in which all workstations and computers in the network store their own images and act as servers to other users on the network. A central server, known as the peer server, is provided that stores metadata about all of the images and provides users with a search capability to find images of interest.
In a preferred embodiment, the peer nodes 16 may each represent either a website or a computer, and typically store the digital images 20 of a particular user 18. A peer node may store the images of more than one user. For example, two family members which share a home PC, but manage their images separately may maintain separate accounts with the system 10 on the shared PC The digital images 20 are stored as image files that include image data. Each image also has metadata 22 associated with it that describe and categorize the image. The metadata 22 may be associated with the images 20 by the user 18 or automatically by the peer node 16 as described below. In addition some or all of the metadata 22 may be associated with the image by a digital camera at the time of image capture. Each image 20 may also be associated with a particular type of metadata, which is a smaller representation of the image data, called a thumbnail image 24.
The present invention is in contrast to the traditional photosharing model where the user 18 would post digital images by uploading the images from his or her computer to a webserver for storage in a static album. Instead, in the present invention, the peer nodes 16 maintain storage of the actual image data and only the metadata 22 (and, in particular, the thumbnail image 24) for each image are uploaded to the peer server 14. Users 18 of the peer nodes 16 register themselves and their peer nodes 16 with the peer server 14 to become members of the service so that other users 18 can search for and view their images 20. The peer server 14 maintains a list of users 18, a list of groups to which users may belong, and peer nodes 16, and provides a search engine and a cache of the metadata for each shared image.
According to a further aspect of the present invention, users 18 may dynamically create image albums 26 for viewing the images 20 by submitting search criteria that are based on metadata 22. In
In response, the peer server 14 returns a list of image locators (e.g., URLs) for images 20 matching the search criteria to peer node 16 b. The user 18 b then selects entries on the list corresponding to the images to be contained in the album 26. In a preferred embodiment, the user 18 b is shown a list of thumbnail images with some subset of metatdata which identifies the image and/or its source, rather than a list of image names. In an alternative embodiment, peer node 16 b may display the list of peer nodes 16 with matching images before retrieving any image data and/or additional metadata, and allow the user to select which peer nodes 16 to use in composing the album.
After the user 18 b makes his or her selections from the list, the peer node 16 b sends requests using the image locators to retrieve the matching images as needed.
The handling of the requests depends on where the images are being retrieved from. There are three cases: 1) one or more of the selected images are stored on the requesting peer node, 2) one or more of the images are stored on a peer node that may or may not be online at the time, and may or may not have a reachable network address, and 3) the request is for thumbnail images, which are stored on both the peer server 14 and the peer nodes that shared the corresponding images.
If one or more of the matching images are stored on the requesting peer node 16 b, then the images are retrieved from the requesting peer node 16 b for incorporation into the album 26. If one or more images are stored on another peer node 16 that is online and has a network address which is reachable from peer node 16 b, then the image locators returned from the peer server 14 direct the peer node 16 b to the other peer node 16 for retrieval of the images. In a preferred embodiment, the image locators returned by the server to the peer node 16 b indicate which nodes are currently online so that the peer node 16 b can send the URL request directly to the corresponding peer nodes 16 without first sending the request to the peer server 14.
If one or more images are stored on another peer node 16 that is currently offline, or does not have a network address which is reachable from peer node 16 b, the image locators are modified to route the request for the images back to the peer server 14, which in the case of a firewall, acts as a proxy for the peer node 16. After becoming a proxy, the peer server 14 routes the image requests and responses appropriately. If the album 26 that is to be generated includes thumbnail images, which are part of the metadata that is uploaded to the peer server 14, then the server 14 returns the thumbnails directly to the peer node 16 b, eliminating the need to retrieve the thumbnails from other peer nodes 16.
As the peer node 16 b receives the responses, the peer node 16 b aggregates the responses to produce a view of the album 26. In a preferred embodiment, peer node 16 b composes one or more web pages which user 18 is able to view in a web browser. Peer node 16 b may retrieve the presentation components such as graphic art, page templates, and so on from peer server 14 as needed. Peer node 16 b may cache presentation components retrieved from the peer server 14 for future use to enhance performance.
According to the present invention, image albums 26 are not statically defined as they are traditional photosharing sites. Instead albums 26 are defined by search criteria, which are based on the metadata 22 and generated on the user's peer node in real-time using not only the user's own images 20, but also the images 20 of other peer nodes. In a preferred embodiment, the albums 26 created as a result of the searches and/or the search criteria may also be saved. They may be saved as search criteria or as the result from the initial search criteria subject to the preferences of the user. The peer-to-peer photosharing system 10 of the present invention has several advantages over traditional photosharing, including:
The peer UI 30 is a graphical user interface application that allows the user 18 to view and edit data. The data in most cases is images 20 and associated metadata, which may reside on both the peer node 16 or on remote peer nodes 16. Although the peer UI 30 may be implemented in a number of different ways, in a preferred embodiment the peer UI 30 is implemented as a web browser but alternately it may be an application specifically designed for the system 10.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, the peer daemon 34 automatically assigns metadata 22 to the images 20 prior to the metadata upload process. The peer daemon 34 makes intelligent guesses at how to fill-in the metadata values 22 using defaults specified by the metadata schemas. In addition, the peer daemon is trained over time based on the user's past behavior. The peer daemon 34 then makes use of the peer upload automation engine 32 to send the metadata 22 associated with the images to the peer server 14. The metadata facilities of the peer daemon 34 and peer upload engine 32 allow a user 18 to categorize and upload the metadata 22 for a very large number of images 20 to the peer server 14 with ease. The peer daemon 34 also allows the user 18, to make simple edits to the pictures before the images 20 are stored and the metadata 22 is uploaded (rotation for example).
The peer daemon 34 includes a background process that scans the peer node 16 computer for images 20 that are to be shared, and catalogs metadata about images 20. The peer daemon 34 uses the peer data repository 36 to store images 20 and local copies of the metadata 22. In a preferred embodiment the peer daemon 34 acts as a web server to present the peer UI 30 to the user through a web browser. The peer daemon 34 communicates with the peer server 12 as needed to retrieve presentation components as needed, thus distributing the presentation logic of the system. In a similar manner, the peer daemon 34 may also offload other work from the peer server 14 that is typically the sole responsibility of a central server or site in a traditional photosharing server. Examples of such work activities, include caching and processing of security information, receiving and routing events, acting as a peer proxy 68 for other peer nodes (see description of
The web server application 50 serves pages formatted to suit the capabilities of the client device so that a standard web browser can be used to view the data returned by the web server. The metadata repository 52 is a database that stores metadata definitions and the metadata 22 uploaded from peer nodes 16 associated with specific images and groups of images 22 associated with images 20 stored on the peer nodes 16. In a preferred embodiment, the metadata definitions are specified using the W3C Resource Definition Framework (RDF) standard. In this preferred embodiment a core metadata schema/vocabulary is defined, which is associated with all images. Groups and users may specify their own metadata 22 vocabularies and may share these vocabularies with other users and groups. Users and group administrators may specify one or more vocabularies, which must be supported for images associated with the user and group accounts, respectively. The peer server 14 and peer nodes 16 enforce these metadata requirements.
The user account database 54 stores user account and corresponding contact information and preferences of each registered user 18. Groups of users may also share common policies, which may include permission settings, UI options, required and optional metadata vocabularies, subscriptions lists, event/notification policies, and caching policies.
The cache 56 is used to store the metadata 22 associated with frequently accessed images 20 to provide for quicker searches. The metadata 22 may be automatically replaced in the cache 56 with the metadata 22 from other images 20 based on the peer server's configured caching policies. The peer proxy 68 allows the peer nodes 16 behind firewalls 38 to connect with peer server 14. Once this connection is established other peer nodes 16 may contact the associated peer node 16 behind a firewall 38 by connecting to the peer proxy which will route requests to the peer node behind the firewall and will route responses to the associated node making the request.
The peer server 14 further includes a search engine 58, a peer directory 60, an event/notification engine 62, a caching engine 64, and presentation logic and resources 66. The search engine 58 takes requests received by various peer nodes 16 and searches through the metadata 22 stored in the metadata repository 52. The search engine 58 also has the capability of offloading searches by passing the search criteria to one or more of the peer nodes 16 to search the metadata 22 stored on the peer node(s) 16. In a preferred embodiment, the peer site offloads searches to peer nodes 16 with large amounts of metadata 22. An example of such a peer node 16, is a peer node 16 which is also a traditional centralized photosharing site.
The peer directory 60 maintains a list of active peer nodes 16 and associates the peer nodes 16 with registered users 18 from the user account database 54. The notification engine 62 is responsible for notifying peer nodes 16 when predefined events occur. Examples of predefined events include other peer nodes 16 becoming active, particular images 20 being posted on the peer server 14, or a request being filled. The caching engine 64 interfaces with the cache 56 and is responsible for determining what data to cache, where to cache it, and how long to hold the data.
The presentation logic 66 composes the user interface for user interaction with the peer site. The presentation 66 logic also provides templates and presentation resources (e.g., icons, graphics) used by the peer nodes in composing user interface elements. The presentation logic 66 adapts the presentation based on the capabilities of the requesting device and user 18 preferences.
The peer server 14 may also provide the peer nodes 16 access to external service providers (not shown), which may include print fulfillment providers, or services that burn image albums 26 on CDs or prints real album pages, for instance.
As an example, assume that an image 86 of a family with mountains in the background has been added to the system 10 by a user 18 a. User 18 a has defined a private schema 88 that includes the universal schema, borrows from a shared schema defined for family metadata, and adds additional metadata for the user 18 a's private use. User 18 b has discovered image 86, perhaps through a search using fields in the universal schema. Seeing the mountains in the picture and being an avid fan of nature photography user 18 b creates nature metadata 90 to associate with image 86 using a shared schema defined for nature photographs. User 18 b has uploaded this metadata 90 for the image to the peer server 14. Other users constructing searches built using one or more of the vocabularies (universal, family, user 18 a's private extensions, and nature) will be able to find image 86 if the search criteria match. The schema definition 84 is not limited by the system 10. Further, there is no theoretical limit to the number of separate instances of metadata 22 which could be provided and associated with images 20. Note that it is user 18 a's option to share the private schema extensions and the private metadata. User 18 a may send the private schema specification to the peer server 14 allowing others to construct searches using the private vocabulary. The peer server 14 will require user 18 a's peer node to perform the actual search if the actual metadata has not been stored on the peer server 14.
In operation, the user 18 first installs peer software on his or her computer to create a peer node 16 and signs-up for the service. The user 18 may share images 20 that are local on the user's peer node 16 with the photosharing site 12 by uploading the image metadata 22, thus synchronizing the peer node 16 and the peer server 14. To view the data, the user 18 may select predefined albums 26 to view for which he has the necessary permissions or user 18 may submit a search, which results in the creation of dynamic image albums 26 that display the images 20 matching the search criteria. These process steps will now be explained in further detail with reference to
After becoming a registered user 18, the user 18 downloads the peer node application software 16 in step 108. After downloading the peer node software 16, the user 18 installs the peer node software 16 and invokes the peer daemon 34 in step 110. The user 18 is then given the opportunity to specify images 20 and associated metadata 22 that is to be shared using the system 10 in step 112. The peer daemon 34 automates as much of the process of providing metadata 22 as is possible by providing default values for the required data in the required schemas for the user 18. For a first-time user in a preferred embodiment, the only required data is the data specified in the universal schema. The user is given the opportunity to override any of the automatically supplied values.
The peer daemon 34 then synchronizes with the peer server 14 and uploads the metadata 22 in step 114. After the image metadata 22 has been uploaded, the user 18 may invite others registered users 18 to visit the site in step 116. The user 18 may invite non-registered users by providing their email addresses. The non-registered users will be sent emails inviting them to register with the peer server 14 after which they may view the user's 18 images.
The system 10 allows requests to be made for images 20 on peer nodes 16 that are offline at the time the request is made.
If the requestor is online in step 210, the peer node 16 sends the response to the requestor as indicated by the URL in the request in step 212. If the requestor is not online, then since the peer server 14 tracks the peer nodes 16 that are online, the peer server 14 substitutes the requestor's URL in the request with one of its own prior to sending the pending request to the peer node 16 during step 208. When the peer node 16 subsequently processes the request, the response is sent from the peer node 16 to the peer server 14, as indicated by the URL in the request, where it is cached in step 214. When the requestor comes back online in step 216, the requester then requests the cached response from the peer server 14 in step 218. The peer server 14 then routes the cached response to the requestor in step 220.
Note that the processes illustrated in
A peer-to-peer photosharing service has been disclosed in which peer nodes maintain storage of actual image data, while uploading metadata corresponding to the images to a peer server for searching by other peer nodes. The present invention has been described in accordance with the embodiments shown, and one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that there could be variations to the embodiments, and any variations would be within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, many modifications may be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Of course, there was egg-citement was in the air!
Hundreds of pastel-clad youngsters brought their game faces to a fierce Easter egg hunt in Fort Greene Park on Saturday, according to one dad who witnessed the action.
"There was a lot of competition and everybody was hustling," said Sean Moore, whose four-year-old twins Cameron and Corey found five eggs.
But kids didn't have to look hard for the colorful bounty — the bunny "hid" 2,000 pieces of the treasure by just laying them down on the greenspace's grass and beneath its trees, making it easy for the kids to collect their loot.
"They were basically right there where you could see them," Moore said.
It is unclear why the Easter Bunny — a magical creature who hides eggs once a year — didn't quite do his job, and, as usual, he could not be reached for comment.
Along with the egg-travaganza, kids colored, creating crafts, and were visited by furry face of the spring holiday, an appearance that made at least one little guy's day.
"The bunny was so much fun," said Alexis Southerland Anekwe, who brought her one-year-old son Amari and husband. "It was his first time seeing the Easter Bunny and he loved it."

Paris, France (SPX) Mar 20, 2007
Understanding the origin and behavior of the magnetic fields of planets and stars is the goal of research being carried out by many teams from all over the world. The VKS1 collaboration (CEA2, CNRS3,4, Ecole normale superieure in Lyon3, Ecole normale superieure in Paris4) has succeeded in creating in the laboratory a magnetic field in a highly turbulent flow of liquid sodium.
Although the extreme conditions specific to astrophysical and geophysical environments cannot all be reproduced in the laboratory, the magnetic field observed shows remarkable similarities with magnetic fields observed in the cosmos. The findings represent a significant advance in the understanding of the mechanisms at work in the formation of natural magnetic fields. They are published in Physical Review Letters dated 26 January 2007.
Most of the astrophysical objects which surround us (planets, stars and galaxies) have a magnetic field, whose origin is poorly understood. Such magnetic fields can play a major role in the evolution of various structures throughout the Universe. The Earth's magnetic field, which is very probably caused by the movement of liquid iron in the core, not only makes compass needles point north, but also protects us from the harmful effects of cosmic rays and the solar wind.
As early as 1919, Larmor put forward the hypothesis that the Sun's magnetic field is generated by a "dynamo" effect, in other words by the movement of a fluid that conducts electricity. Because of their highly chaotic (turbulent) nature, the analysis of geophysical and astrophysical flows is beyond the current capacities of numerical simulations, and, until now, has thwarted all attempts at a theoretical approach.
It is only through experimental work that it is possible to reproduce the dynamo phenomenon with parameters that are similar to those that occur naturally. Following experiments carried out in 2000 by teams in Riga and Karlsruhe, the challenge facing the physicists was to show that the fully turbulent motion of a conducting liquid could spontaneously generate a magnetic field.
1 Von Karman (the physicist after whom the flow that was created was named), Sodium (the liquid used in the experiments)
2 Department of condensed state physics at CEA, team led by François Daviaud
3 Physics laboratory of the Ecole normale superieure at Lyon, (CNRS, ENS Lyon), team led by Jean-François Pinton
4 Laboratory for statistical physics at the Ecole normale superieure, (CNRS, ENS Paris, Universites Paris VI and Paris VII), team led by Stephan Fauve
5 The VKS experiment was carried out at CEA/Cadarache, at the Department of nuclear technology, Office of nuclear energy
Since 1998, the VKS collaboration has been studying a highly turbulent flow produced by the movement of two turbines revolving in opposite directions in a cylinder filled with liquid sodium5.
Liquid sodium is an excellent conductor of electricity, while having a density similar to that of water, unlike many other metals which are much denser. In September 2006, the VKS2 experiment showed that, when the turbines revolve faster than a critical speed (1020 rpm), the flow spontaneously generates a magnetic field. This is the first time that such results have been observed in a highly turbulent medium.
The result proves that fluid dynamos continue to operate in the presence of strong turbulence of the kinds that occur under natural conditions. The achievement of the dynamo experiment under laboratory conditions opens up many new prospects. In particular, it will make it possible to study the energy balance involved in the production of a magnetic field as well as its dynamics. It may therefore be possible to understand the origin of the pseudoperiodic oscillations in the solar cycle or the irregular reversals of the Earth's magnetic field.

Most Energetic Form Of Light Can Be Produced In Areas Dominated By Bright Young Stars

In 2002, when astronomers first detected cosmic gamma rays - the most energetic form of light known - coming from the constellation Cygnus they were surprised and perplexed. The region lacked the extreme electromagnetic fields that they thought were required to produce such energetic rays.

A Mother�s Death. A Son�s Rebirth. Dance with Me: It�s all about love
Puerto Rican pop sensation Chayanne plays the young and handsome Rafael Infante, a Cuban man mourning the recent death of his mother, who goes to Houston to meet his father John Burnett for the first time.
Puerto Rican pop sensation Chayanne plays the young and handsome Rafael Infante, a Cuban man mourning the recent death of his mother, who goes to Houston to meet his father John Burnett for the first time.
In Houston, John, who was a close friend of Rafael�s mother, offers Rafael a janitorial job at his dance studio, and lets him stay in the modest apartment above but John does not know he is in fact Rafael�s father and Rafael still does not have the courage to tell him.
Meanwhile the beautiful and talented dance student at the studio, Ruby, continues to decline Rafael�s attempts to start a romantic relationship. For Ruby, men are an unnecessary obstacle on her path to dance stardom.
As the dancers prepare for an upcoming dance competition in Las Vegas, John who is reaching his final years, struggles to find meaning or satisfaction in life, and seems uninterested in his rundown dance studio. Aside from that, he is alone in the world without a male successor, at least to his knowledge, or spouse.
While other characters search for a sense of importance in their lives, Rafael seems to be slowly constructing his own. Witnessing dance floor acrobatics at the studio rekindles his past interest in dance, putting his early training in ballet to practical use.
Can Rafael win the heart of the woman he adores and confront his father with the truth and will he get the chance to strut his stuff at the biggest dance competition of his life?
The film�s soundtrack is peppered with high-energy Latin tracks, in addition to American favorites by the likes of Roy Orbison, Jackie Wilson, Aretha Franklin and many more.

Kore.ai Bots Take on Finovate
Counting down the days until FinovateSpring 2016? That's a good indicator that you've already calculated the moves it will take to get there. You cleared your calendar. You budgeted for the expenses, accounting for any impact on productivity in your absence. You booked your flight and registered, taking time out of your day to plan your trip.
You've checked all the necessary boxes. It feels good. Now imagine how much better it could be with an intelligent virtual assistant, or bot, to take on these tasks for you. Each time a conference beckons, you'd have bots booking flights, crunching numbers, coordinating your schedule, updating contacts. It's a simple solution to a series of needs, and it's available for you, your customers, and every enterprising business.
At Kore.ai, our bots are powered by advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP). Using artificial intelligence and computational linguistics, the bots turn your to-do list into actionable conversation.
If you're planning to attend FinovateSpring 2016, we hope you'll join us May 10-11 in San Jose, California. We'll show you how the latest advancements in NLP technology can transform every conference experience by maximizing efficiencies and simplifying your administrative agenda.
More Time Translates to More Opportunity
Instead of dividing your time among apps to accomplish tasks – from filing expense reports to updating Salesforce – the bot listens to your needs, understands them, and smoothly operates across multiple channels. This can help you cut a clear path to every conference or trade show you wish to attend. It can open your schedule to network, spark opportunity, and enjoy the show.
Better Conversations Beyond the Conference
The benefits of attending trade shows are numerous. You discover new technology, you meet new people, and you refresh your industry perspective. When you toggle between events and work responsibilities, it's a rigid shift from socializing with colleagues to clicking icons on a screen. It's critical to follow through to turn new contacts into lasting connections, but the effort can get in the way of efficiency.
With NLP bots, you can communicate with your workflow just as you do with your new contacts, creating a natural flow for everyone involved. This ease of connectivity extends beyond the conference.
Putting Personality into Digital Personal Assistants
Talking to a bot to accomplish tasks is one thing. Talking with a bot to evolve its understanding of your workflow is entirely different. NLP bots read human emotions and customize their interactions with you. They essentially learn not only what you do in your work, but how you work best. It's a new dimension to the digital personal assistant that Kore.ai explores daily.
That utility carries into the enterprise workforce in equally compelling ways. When bots are implemented in your daily routine, their worth will compound as they create room in your schedule to achieve more. That includes, of course, the opportunity to make time and spare expenses for future trade shows. The rewards promise to cycle in step with your sales.
Contact Kore.ai with questions regarding building out your own bots strategy, financial services support bots, or how you can start simplifying your workforce and your customer's digital experience.
