Prom 2013: Top trends
When searching for the right prom dress, experts such as Rent the Runway fashion Director Lucy Sykes Rellie and "Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta" image consultant Monte Durham advise taking a hint from the red carpet. "Dakota and Elle Fanning have great red carpet style, because they're able to flaunt their girlie sides while still showing their personalities and pushing the envelope," says Rellie. From bold colors and embellishments to sweetheart necklines and high-low hems, here are some of the top trends expected at high school proms this year.

Google sells Motorola smartphone unit to China's Lenovo
PUBLISHED: 30 Jan 2014 10:56:00 | UPDATED: 03 Feb 2014 14:28:06PUBLISHED: 30 Jan 2014 PRINT EDITION: 31 Jan 2014Paul Smith
Google has given up on plans to make smartphones, deciding to sell the Motorola Mobility unit it bought in 2012 to Chinese computer giant Lenovo in a deal worth $US2.91 billion.
Google chief executive Larry Page said the company had decided there was too much competition in the handset market and that it was a better idea to concentrate on improving its Android ecosystem for the huge variety of devices that run on it.
The move continues the acquisitive march of Lenovo, it first shook the global tech industry in 2005 when it bought IBM's PC division, and last week it announced a $US2.3 billion deal to buy IBM's low-end server business.
It already has a growing smartphone business in China and other emerging markets and it will be looking to use the Motorola acquisition to take on the likes of Apple and Samsung in the US, Europe, Australia and other well-developed markets.
Google had struggled to make any impact on the growing dominance of Samsung in the Android market since moving into the hardware game, and Mr Page said it was a wise move to take a step back from the fight.
Research firm Strategy Analytics said the combined entity of Lenovo and Motorola captured 6 per cent share of global smartphone shipments in 2013.
"The smartphone market is super competitive, and to thrive it helps to be all-in when it comes to making mobile devices. It's why we believe that Motorola will be better served by Lenovo — which has a rapidly growing smartphone business and is the largest (and fastest-growing) PC manufacturer in the world," he wrote in a blog post.
"This move will enable Google to devote our energy to driving innovation across the Android ecosystem, for the benefit of smartphone users everywhere ... Lenovo has the expertise and track record to scale Motorola into a major player within the Android ecosystem. They have a lot of experience in hardware, and they have global reach."
Mr Page said Google's decision to exit the smartphone handset market had no implications for its other hardware plays in areas like wearable technology, where its Google Glass device is expected to be a big seller.
Patent deal
On price value alone the deal looks a shocker for the search giant, as it paid $US12.5 billion, but under the sale to Lenovo it will maintain ownership of the vast majority of the Motorola Mobility patent portfolio, including current patent applications and invention disclosures.
Following completion of the deal Lenovo will receive a license to the patents and other intellectual property. Additionally Lenovo will receive over 2000 patent assets, as well as the Motorola Mobility brand and trademark portfolio.
Google had also previously sold Motorola's Home division for $US2.3 billion and some of its manufacturing operations.
Lenovo's chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing said the acquisition of an iconic brand, innovative product portfolio and global team would immediately make Lenovo a strong global competitor in smartphones.
"We will immediately have the opportunity to become a strong global player in the fast-growing mobile space and are confident that we can bring together the best of both companies to deliver products customers will love and a strong, growing business. Lenovo has a proven track record of successfully embracing and strengthening great brands — as we did with IBM's Think brand — and smoothly and efficiently integrating companies around the world."
Repercussions wide
Analysts said the acquisition was a big deal in the lucrative smartphone market, and would have repercussion for all players.
Telsyte analyst Foad Fadaghi said the sale would go some way towards appeasing other smartphone makers, which partnered with it to use the Android operating system. It has been thought that some had become annoyed by the idea that Google would give preferential access and treatment to its own devices.
Samsung had also developed its own Tizen operating system in a move many had seen as a wish to loosen its reliance on Android.
"The sale of the loss making Motorola handset division solves the challenges with carrying this kind of asset on Google's balance sheet, and Lenovo is ideally placed to help resuscitate the ailing smartphone brand, and it will help position the company for the post-PC world," Mr Fadaghi said.
"However the sale also reflects Google's inability to take a struggling player in a maturing market and turn it around, even after significant cost cutting."
IBRS analyst James Turner said Google had pulled off a good deal by getting rid of a large hardware function that was never its core business, while maintaining the patent warchest it had wanted in the first place.
He said it was far more important for Google to keep other Android handset makers happy than sell devices itself.
"The challenge for Google around Android is that Google needs its hardware partners to do the least amount of alterations to Android as possible, but the handset manufacturers are all desperate to differentiate," Mr Turner said.

On (not) Getting by in America
From Library Staff
This non-fiction classic of class and money in America made the top 10 in 2010.You can thank the current political climate and perhaps the book's socialist undertones.
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentHad to read for required summer reading. Considering it was published in the past two decades, the language is relatively easy to understand. Enlightening book.
An oftentimes humorous journey through three towns and the minimum wage jobs the author works there in an attempt to balance income and expenses on minimum wage. Assigned summer reading for students of AP Language and Composition at Millard South High School.
This book is well-written account of an undercover journalist's journey into the world of the working poor. At times, the tone is biting and sarcastic. More often, it is sincere and sympathetic as Ehrenreich recounts her experiences working an array of low-paying jobs.
Add a NoticeOther: Barely mentions drug use. Refers to it as a "chemical indiscretion" Seeks out a detox system prior to taking a drug screening for a job.
Add a QuoteI suggest that what we need is a union, but from the look on his face I might as well have said gumballs or Prozac.

Dario - Unregistered July 03, 2012 1:34 PM And 5 meters in a sport where they take the same line within inches, lap after lap, is a HUUUGE amount of tarmac. They have a racing licenses system specifically so that silly stuff like this is weeded out by rejecting unqualified people in the first place. 4 agree 1 disagree
skally - Unregistered July 03, 2012 1:43 PM So he only missed his braking point by a mere 5 metres and wasnt going too fast and locked the front wheel whilst riding on the kerb before he got to the corner, I always thought missing your braking point meant you arriving far too fast but if this is not true I bow to your superior Knowledge 1 agree 2 disagree

InSpeedWeTrust July 03, 2012 2:17 PM What a load of crappy comments. Who said on this thread that missing that much your braking point isn't a big mistake ? It's a big one. The problem here is the inconsistency of the motogp race direction. Simoncelli, may him rest in peace, has made several bonehead moves last year, including dumbly taking out a championship contender in the 2nd corner of last year's Assen gp. It was a big and stupid mistake too. Marquez has already more dumb moves in 2 years than Alvaro Bautista in his 10 years GP career. Were they both suspended for being reckless so many times ??? NO. And for Valencia 2011, AB can't be held accountable seeing Dovizioso changed direction just in front of him at the last second. Anonymity on internet is so pernicious. It's way too easy to point the finger at someone than in real life. 90% of the comments here can't be taken seriously. Bautista's made a big mistake, no one will disagree but that was nothing but a racing incident. Reply Report abuse 13 agree 4 disagree
Ozymandias - Unregistered July 03, 2012 2:56 PM @InSpeedWeTrustYou said, "Anonymity on internet is so pernicious. It's way too easy to point the finger at someone than in real life. 90% of the comments here can't be taken seriously." This IS exactly THE issue !! And the descriptive word "pernicious" is most excellent. Forum after forum becomes infected after time and then the corrosion quickly sets in with name calling, belligerence and self-absorption. A sad state of affairs. :-( 1 agree 1 disagree
mrfill July 03, 2012 2:56 PM Where did this '5 metres' fact come from? Rossi and Crutchlow both said he was accelerating and changing up when they were braking. At 120kph (abt 72mph) it takes 0.15 seconds to cover 5 metres which is about time for 1 gear change. Videos suggest he was at least half a second late so more like 20 metres - although the speed before braking at that corner is rather more than 120kph so the distance is correspondingly greater. Reply Report abuse 2 agree 0 disagree
InSpeedWeTrust July 03, 2012 3:15 PM Missing his breaking by 20 meters would almost mean he would've hit the apex of the corner before starting to brake.Watch the video again, in no way Bautista's braking half a second later than Crutchlow, this is madness.5 meters is huge enough for a missed braking point already, that could 7 or 8 meters... But 20 meters is completely unreal. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 1 disagree
InSpeedWeTrust July 03, 2012 3:24 PM It was Dovizioso beside Bautista, not Crutchlow. To those who can watch the replay on MGP.com it's obvious. AB's braking almost at the same time as Dovi, it's very close. The main problem, like Wilco said, is that AB was too much in the inside of the track to make the turn.Moreover he had a decent start from the 3rd line, so he was carrying more speed than the riders in front of him. That's a factor that shouldn't be underestimated as well. Reply Report abuse 2 agree 1 disagree

HTC Sensation: Mail Has Stopped Unexpectedly

I have several email accounts which go to my phone, ie, Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail but they have suddenly stopped working with the above message. Any suggestions?

Forgive me if I state the obvious but I find it best to start with the basics then work on from there.
First battery out wait 30 seconds battery back in - retest Can you surf the web ( this is checking data connection ) IF yes are you on WiFi or GPRs ( the mobile data network ) If unable to surf web then you have no data connection or the WiFi log on had failed or the mobile APN is messing - or mobile data is turned off - all things to check. ( If no data on wifi turn it off and try gprs and vice versa ) Go into your email account [menu] try refresh now If you have more than one email account it is unlikely that they would all stop at the same time If you have only one email address - delete and re add If all of the above fails then look for a software update for your handset
If you could tell us what you see on the top of the screen ( wifi symbol or GPRS symbol either G H E or 3G that would help. Also your mobile service provider and then we could look up the APN settings you need.

I could surf the web before and can again. I did the battery thing as you suggested but no change. Settings wise both Wi-Fi and Mobile Network are switched on. The only icons I can see at the top are for the wi-fi, the battery, the clock and the current time. I am sure there is usually another icon but I can't really describe it but I think it was the GPRS icon.

I reset the phone to factory default settings after backing up anything important and it now works as it should.

How could this possible? HTC is one of the best brand who make smartphones in the world. I also used HTC smartphone and it was really great device. I should contact with your official website of HTC.

In 0015, fifty years before the story's start, the world was being corrupted by Dark Bring, evil stones that bestowed incredible powers to their owners. The Dark Bring were used by the Raregroove Kingdom, and the Symphonia Kingdom fought against them with their Holy Bring.Shiba, the first RAVE Master, attempted to destroy Sinclaire, the "mother" of the Dark Bring, with his Ten Commandments Sword. The aftermath caused the massive explosion known as "Overdrive" that destroyed one-tenth of the known world. Shiba, protected from the disaster by Plue, a special guardian "dog" who shielded him from the blast, held onto the RAVE required to power his sword. Plue and the five remaining fragments of RAVE, however, scattered around the world.
Fifty years later Haru Glory, a teenager living on the peaceful Garage Island, fishes Plue up by accident. Several events soon follow, including Shiba's arrival and his desire to reclaim Plue, as well as the appearance of a mysterious organization known as Demon Card, whose members possess Dark Bring and aim to rule the world. After Haru battles one of its members, Shiba discovers he is the second RAVE Master, and entrusts his RAVE, Plue, and the Ten Commandments Sword to Haru. Haru embarks upon an adventure to find the other fragments of Rave and to save the world.

Edge of Thorns 2 - Pt 18Part 18I don't think I'll get much done in the way of writing tonight, and I should apologize for the way I left. Guess it is a good thing Alton did my work for me, even if I still don't like it...The writer ran his fingers through his drenched hair, slicking it back. "Sterling & Son. I need to apologize to Alton."Micah raised an eyebrow. He offered Nathan his hand and helped him to his feet, folding his wings back as he started down the sidewalk towards his car (which Nathan could have sworn wasn't there before). Thunder rumbled in the distance, and the writer quickly followed after him, watching silently as the angel's wings faded away and he entered the vehicle. Another, louder thunder roll prompted him to jog faster around to the passenger's side, not hesitating to let himself in. Before Micah could ask about his last comment, Nathan turned to him to elaborate."I got upset with him."The angel rolled his eyes and started the car, pulling away from the curb.
Edge of Thorns 2 - Pt 16Part 16I'm probably going to regret this later, but she is right...Nathan still frowned and rubbed his neck. "I guess so," he admitted. "I probably could use the back up, but...""Great," Enya said with a smirk and a satisfied nod. "Because if you had said no, I was going to chew you out and help anyway. Better that you just agree with me."Despite his apprehensiveness, Nathan still laughed at that. "If it means avoiding an argument, then yeah, probably.""Did I miss anything exciting?" Alton returned to his guests, standing beside the table with his hands folded in front of him. While they both shook their heads, Enya eased the cat off her lap and stood up from the table, bouncing beside him and wrapping her arms around his shoulders."Didn't miss a thing, Al, though I was wondering what we're going to do now. It's still raining and I sure as hell don't feel like going home yet.""What time is it anyway?" Nathan glanced down at his watch. It was almost eight o'c

Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON
TORONTO -- A halftime change of footwear helped Vince Carter find his shooting stroke.
Carter scored 24 points, Dwight Howard had 17 points and 12 rebounds and the Orlando Magic won their fifth straight game, 104-96 over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
Fast Facts
• The Magic won their fifth straight and improved to 11-3 on the season.
• J.J. Redick had 19 off the bench for Orlando, including four 3-pointers.
• The Raptors lost their fourth in five games.
-- ESPN Stats & Information
Carter finished 9 for 24 from the field after going 2 for 11 in the first half.
"The first half was a rough one," Carter said, adding that he was "a little overly aggressive."
That changed after Carter switched his shoes.
"My shoes in the first half were all blue," Carter said. "I changed back to the black ones, the old faithful that I wore in Boston."
His feet back in the shoes that he wore to score 26 points in Friday's road win over the Celtics, Carter came out in the third and scored 12 points.
So, what will Carter do with the blue shoes?
"Those are done," he said, laughing. "I gave them away."
As usual, Toronto fans booed Carter every time he touched the ball.
"I think half the people don't have any idea why they're booing him, it's just become tradition to boo him," Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said. "That's OK. He thinks it's funny, we think it's funny. It's really irrelevant."
J.J. Redick added 19 points, Jason Williams had 16 and Rashard Lewis added 11 for the Magic, who have won eight of 10.
Chris Bosh scored 22 points, Jose Calderon had 16 and Hedo Turkoglu scored 12 for Toronto, which has lost four of five. The Raptors are 4-2 at home this season, with both defeats coming against the Magic.
"Their defense is one of the best, that's why they are 11-3," Raptors coach Jay Triano said.
Orlando used 17 3-pointers to beat Toronto 125-116 on Nov. 1 despite playing without Carter (left ankle), Lewis (suspension) and Mickael Pietrus (flulike symptoms). All three were healthy for this one, but it was lesser-known players who extended the lead in the final quarter.
With Howard and Carter already on the bench, things looked good for Toronto when Lewis also sat down after picking up his fifth foul at 10:27 of the fourth. Five seconds later, Turkoglu tied it at 80 with a pair of free throws.
But with their three leading scorers all sitting, the Magic didn't fold. Redick and Williams hit back-to-back 3-pointers, Redick made a jumper and Ryan Anderson hit two free throws to give Orlando a 90-80 lead with 7:19 left.
"That's not exactly the lineup that everybody writes about when they're writing about the Orlando Magic," Van Gundy said. "That was on the road against a good team and those guys did a great job extending the lead. They took the lead to double figures. You can't ask for more than that."
Redick said the Magic learned not to panic in such situations when they were forced to play without Lewis and Carter earlier this season.
"It wasn't like we looked around and said 'Holy crap, we don't have an All-Star on the floor,' " Redick said. "We just went out and played with a group that has been successful before."
Williams added another 3 before Carter and Howard returned with 6:05 remaining, but Toronto wasn't done. Trailing by 13 after two Howard free throws, Jarrett Jack made a 3 from the corner before Amir Johnson hit a layup, then put back Turkoglu's miss to make it 97-91 with 2:32 left.
Carter made sure the Raptors didn't get any closer, making two free throws and later hitting a jumper to keep Orlando's lead secure.
Johnson scored a season-high 14 points while Andrea Bargnani fouled out with 11 points and nine rebounds. Jack matched a career-high with 11 assists and his eight rebounds were a season-high.
Howard had yet to score when he was forced to the bench after picking up his second foul at 5:59 of the first. He returned for the second and had eight points in the quarter as the Magic used an 18-5 run to erase a 10-point deficit. Carter didn't take a shot in the quarter but Ryan Anderson's 3-pointer from the corner with 1.6 seconds left gave Orlando a 50-49 lead.
Howard headed back to the bench after picking up his fourth foul at 2:48 of the third, and Johnson capped a 9-2 run with a three-point play to put the Raptors on top. Carter made a jumper with 1.4 seconds left to tie it at 76 heading into the fourth.
Game notes
Williams made his third straight start in place of point guard Jameer Nelson, who underwent left knee surgery last week and is expected to miss four to six weeks. ... Van Gundy received a technical for arguing in the first and Howard got one for arguing in the third. ... Toronto's Antoine Wright (left ankle) sat for the fourth time in five games. ... Raptors G Marco Belinelli (left groin) did not dress after injuring himself in Friday's victory over Miami.

I have this in Sweet Tart. It's such a pretty magenta shade. It comes off matte on me, and is a pop of color without being over the top. Not drying so far. I dislike the packaging, but what do you expect for $6? Love the color!
I got this in the shade Pops. It's an almost perfect MLBB shade for me! The formula is pretty nice, I wish it was just a hint glossier but that's an easy fix and I'm not about to complain about such a minor thing considering the price point. It feels pretty creamy on, my lips are kind of dry so I still need lip balm first but this feels more comfortable than a lot of my other lipsticks. Most comparable to the Revlon lip butters.
The packaging is a tad difficult though. Maybe mine is just wonky, but when I try to pull the cap off it feels like it's twisting the lipstick up and I'm pretty sure I'm eventually going to break it this way. Other than that though I like it. It doesn't look pretty or expensive but the packaging matches the shade of the lipstick.
Overall I really like this one and I'll probably purchase a few other shades.

I bought three shades of these lipsticks after seeing a few video reviews. The texture of these lipsticks is really smooth and creamy, they have great pigment and OK staying power. Some of the darker shades leave a little stain on the lips, which I like because it means there is less need for touch ups.
Taffy - a light, but bright cool-toned pink. On me it has a definite blue undertone. Not my usual kind of lipstick shade but it's very pretty and fun.
Little Susie - Medium watermelon pink. This is a gorgeous shade that applies mostly opaque, I like it with a pink lip liner for a little extra coverage. It's perfect everyday shade for me.
Mary Janes - this is a deep red on me with a slight brick undertone. It's not the 'true red' NYX labels it IMHO. I love it, the perfect rich red for winter.
I like these lipsticks enough to look at getting a few more from the range. Great quality, lovely colours and a super-affordable price point.

Ulta was having an after Christmas sale and I picked up two sets of these, 3 in each set. One set has a dark purple/eggplant, a mauve, and a deep bright red, the other has a bright pink, a peachy nude, and a really light nude. So far I've tried the purple ans the mauve and I really like them! tThey are AO smooth and creamy, they apply like a dream, the pigmentation is fantastic and they feel light and hydrating on my lips. The staying power is pretty good too for what I can tell so far. Really enjoying these!
I have Sugar Wafer and Maryjanes in this lipstick. VERY oily, oily to the point you wish they were lip balm and not lipsticks. So slick that the darker red one, Maryjanes, isn't a good coverage of red, and applying more to get a solid cover, looks clownish and greasy. Sugar Wafer is such a beautiful colour concept, except that all of the oil causes the pigment to go on patchy. Maybe a lip primer would solve this. Better to call this a gloss stick than actual lipstick. Great packaging, makes it look more prestigious than the payoff. Good for the price.
I bought this in 'Pops' at Ulta and I have mixed feelings. It's the perfect MLBB shade for my fair skin, however I felt like I had to reapply it fairly often and it was mildly drying. I probably won't use this in the cold of winter when my lips are dryer as it is, but during warmer months it will probably be a go to shade. The packaging does look cheap, but at this price I'll deal with it.

PROS: True to advertisement, this lipstick seriously glides on like butter. It is so smooth, moisturizing, and easy to apply! Not to mention, you have a wide range of colors to choose from that can easily be used for simple everyday makeup to really dramatic looks.
CONS: You will need to touch up throughout the day, probably a couple of times because the formula doesn't last forever. The packaging is not the best; it's just cheap plastic, but so far this hasn't been a huge problem for me.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Such a great product with high quality and super low price! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's in the process of trying out lipsticks for the first time. Great to just throw in your purse and take with you on-the-go!

NYX Butter Lipstick is a good, hydrating lipstick. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of thinking light colors like Cotton Candy (light pink) & Gumdrop (bubble-gum pink) would look good on my dark skin; for reference I am a NC45 in MAC foundations. These are definitely creamyalmost to a faultbut are nicely pigmented. My only complaint is settling into the lines in my lips. I personally didn't have any feathering or bleeding. I'll probably try my luck with these lipsticks again, but with more flattering shades for my skin tone like Mary Janes (true red), Licorice (deep burgundy), or Pops (mauve).
Perfectly hideous cheap case, but the plus is you can find your shade without hunting for your reading glasses. Texture is soft, matte, but texturally light and creamy. The colour is dense and rich. Very soft on the lips. Not as moist or sheer as some, but perfectly nice for the price.

Description This is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/659,977 filed Sep. 11, 2003 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,467,102, which is herein incorporated by reference. 1. Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to data processing and more particularly to providing computing services through a grid computing environment. 2. Description of the Related Art The operation of a business is a dynamic undertaking. To increase profit margins, businesses continually seek out means of assessing and controlling costs. For example, one attractive alternative to outright purchases of assets is leasing of the assets. Leasing provides flexibility and, in some cases, tax advantages. However, regardless of whether an asset is purchased or leased, some assets have periods of idleness, or decreased usage. During these periods, the assets are not productive, or not optimally productive, but still have associated costs which the business incurs. A particular asset that suffers from this problem is the computer. Today's computers are powerful devices having significant capacity for functions such as processing and storage. Unfortunately, the cost of owning and operating computers can be significant for some businesses. In order to be effective, the computerized resources of a business must be sufficient to meet the current needs of the business, as well as projected needs due to growth. In addition, even assuming no growth, the resources must be capable of tolerating the business's inevitable peaks and valleys of day-to-day operations due to increased loads for seasonal, period end, or special promotions. As a result, businesses are left in the position of having to invest in more computerized resources than are immediately needed in order to accommodate growth and operational peaks and valleys. In the event the growth exceeds the available computerized resources, the business must upgrade its resources, again allowing for projected growth. Thus, at any given time in its growth cycle, a business will have excess computer capacity allowing for growth as well as the peaks and valleys of short-term operations. This excess capacity translates into real cost for the business. One conventional solution that gives user's more flexibility is on-demand access to computerized resources. Various forms of on-demand resource access are available from International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). For example, one form of on-demand access is provided by International Business Machines, Inc. under the name �Capacity on Demand� on its line of eServer computers. In any case, computerized resources are made available on-demand in response to actual needs, rather than projected needs. In one aspect, the provision of such flexibility provides a cost efficient solution to accommodate peaks and valleys that occur in any business. Increased loads for seasonal, period end, or special promotions, for example, can be responded to quickly and efficiently. A customer pays for the capacity/resources that it needs, when it is needed. As a result, the cost of computerized resources substantially matches the computerized resources actually being used, and does not include a substantial premium for excess capacity not being used. Of course, in practice, providers may attach some form of a premium to the flexibility provided by on demand resource access. However, even with such a premium, some users will realize savings. A problem with on-demand resources, however, is that customers may still have to incur costs associated with transportation, maintenance and storage of these additional resources. Additionally, at any given time there may be idle resources available that are not being used. This may amount to a waste of resources for a service provider and/or an unnecessary expense for a customer. An alternative to on-demand resources is grid computing. A grid computing environment may be a type of parallel and distributed computing system which enables the sharing, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed resources at runtime depending on their availability, capability, performance, cost, and/or user's quality of service requirements. The advantage of grid computing is that the end users are not burdened with cost of ownership issues such as purchase/lease cost and maintenance costs. However, currently users are limited in the options from which they may select when submitting requests. In particular, users are limited to specifying the minimal requirements for a job to be run properly. Examples of such requirements include the computer architecture (e.g., Intel or PowerPC), and minimal memory and disk resources. Accordingly, there is a need for exploiting, enhancing and adding flexibilities made available to users of grid computing resources. Aspects of the invention generally provide methods, articles of manufacture, and systems for providing user options for processing requests in a grid-based computing environment. In another embodiment, user requests include machine specific criteria. The machine specific criteria may include any variety of criteria that require the request to be processed on a particular machine satisfying the criteria. In a particular embodiment, a computer-implemented method of providing access to grid computing resources available to a plurality of users comprises receiving, from a requesting entity, a request to use a specific grid computing resource to perform a defined function; and routing the request to the specific grid computing resource in accordance with the request. Another embodiment of the method of providing access to grid computing resources available to a plurality of users comprises receiving, from a requesting entity, a request comprising (i) a defined function to be performed and (ii) a resource specific criterion identifying a specific resource to perform the defined function; and based on the resource specific criterion, identifying a grid computing resource as the specific resource to perform the defined function. Yet another embodiment of the method of providing access to grid computing resources available to a plurality of users comprises receiving, from a requesting entity, a plurality of requests related to a benchmarking operation, wherein at least one of the requests comprises a defined function to be performed and at least each of the remaining requests comprise a different resource specific criterion identifying a different specific resource to perform the defined function; based on each resource specific criterion, identifying a grid computing resource as the specific resource to perform the defined function, wherein a different grid computing resource is identified for each different resource specific criterion; and submitting each request to perform the defined function to an appropriate grid resource according to the respective different resource specific criterions. Another embodiment provides a computerized environment comprising a request manager configured to (i) receive, from a requesting entity, a request comprising a defined function to be performed and a resource specific criterion identifying a specific resource to perform the defined function; (ii) based on the resource specific criterion, identify a grid computing resource as the specific resource to perform the defined function, the identified grid computing resource being one of a plurality of resources of a computing grid; and (iii) route the request to the identified grid computing resource. In another embodiment, a grid provider manages a plurality of queues specific to different request criteria. User requests are placed in particular queues according to the request criteria. In a particular embodiment, a computer-implemented method of providing access to a computing grid available to a plurality of users comprises receiving a plurality of requests each comprising (i) a queue criterion and (ii) a defined function to be performed by at least one computing resource of the computing grid; and placing each request on a different one of a plurality of queues according to the respective queue criterion. In yet another embodiment, a computerized environment comprises a plurality of queues each configured for different request types; and a request manager. The request manager is configured to receive a plurality of requests each comprising (i) a queue criterion and (ii) a defined function to be performed by at least one computing resource of a computing grid; and place each request on a different one of the plurality of queues according to the respective queue criterion. So that the manner in which the above recited features, advantages and objects of the present invention are attained and can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments. The present invention is generally directed to a system, method, and article of manufacture for providing user options for processing requests in a grid-based computing environment. For example, a wide variety of computing resources and services (grid computing environment) may be made available to customers via a service provider. In some embodiments, the customers may be charged a fee for use of the grid computing environment. It should be noted that while aspects of the invention are described in the context of a business, the invention provides advantages to any user, whether involved in a business or not. One embodiment of the invention is implemented as a program product for use with a computer system. The program(s) of the program product defines functions of the embodiments (including the methods described herein) and can be contained on a variety of signal-bearing media. Illustrative signal-bearing media include, but are not limited to: (i) information permanently stored on non-writable storage media (e.g., read-only memory devices within a computer such as CD-ROM disks readable by a CD-ROM drive); (ii) alterable information stored on writable storage media (e.g., floppy disks within a diskette drive or hard-disk drive); and (iii) information conveyed to a computer by a communications medium, such as through a computer or telephone network, including wireless communications. The latter embodiment specifically includes information downloaded from the Internet and other networks. Such signal-bearing media, when carrying computer-readable instructions that direct the functions of the present invention, represent embodiments of the present invention. In general, the routines executed to implement the embodiments of the invention, may be part of an operating system or a specific application, component, program, module, object, or sequence of instructions. The computer program of the present invention typically is comprised of a multitude of instructions that will be translated by the native computer into a machine-readable format and hence executable instructions. Also, programs are comprised of variables and data structures that either reside locally to the program or are found in memory or on storage devices. In addition, various programs described hereinafter may be identified based upon the application for which they are implemented in a specific embodiment of the invention. However, it should be appreciated that any particular program nomenclature that follows is used merely for convenience, and thus the invention should not be limited to use solely in any specific application identified and/or implied by such nomenclature. In one embodiment, user requests include machine/resource specific criteria. The machine specific criteria may include any variety of criteria that require the request to be processed on a particular machine satisfying the criteria. Referring now to The provider computer 102 and the customer computers 116 communicate through a network 106. Illustratively, the network 106 may be any medium through which information may be transferred such as, for example, a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN), or a telephone network. The network 106 is merely representative of one communications medium. Some aspects of the invention may be facilitated by other communication mediums such as, for example, the U.S. Postal Service. For example, the customer computer 116 1 may use other forms of communication such as snail mail, facsimile, or a telephone instead of the network 106 to communicate with the provider computer 102. Other aspects may also be practiced in the absence of any communication mediums between the provider 102 and the customers 116. In a particular embodiment, the network 106 is the Internet. As such, the provider computer 102 may be configured with a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) server 122 capable of servicing requests from browser programs 118 residing on the customer computers 116. The HTTP server 122 and the browser program 118 provide convenient and well-known software components for establishing a network connection (e.g., a TCP/IP connection) via the network 106, and for receiving information from users on the computer systems 116. Generally, the provider computer 102 provides the customer computers 116 with access to a grid 104. The grid 104 is a grid computing environment containing a number of different computing resources 120 1-120 N. In one embodiment, a grid computing environment may be a type of parallel and distributed computing system which enables the sharing, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed resources at runtime depending on their availability, capability, performance, cost, and/or user's quality of service requirements. The grid 104 may be a network of many diverse hardware and/or software computing resources including, but not limited to, applications, databases, web services, storage, computing power, and the like. These resources may be available and accessible through a network medium such as, the Internet, to a wide variety of users and may be shared between them. Access to different resources within the grid 104 may also be provided by different service providers. In one embodiment, the provider computer 102 is configured with a manager 108 to manage requests for grid resources from the clients 116. Although, the manager 108 is shown as a single entity, it should be noted that it may be representative of different functions implemented by different software and/or hardware components within the provider computer 102. In general, the manager 108 manages the requests from the client computers 116. The requests may include various request criteria (i.e., parameters included with the request). Accordingly, the manager 108 may be configured to determine whether at least some of the response criteria can be satisfied. If the manager determines the request can be satisfied, the manager routes the request to the appropriate resources of the grid 104. In one embodiment, request criteria include at least machine specific parameters. A machine specific parameter is any specific parameter of a machine, i.e., a parameter that is specifically identified with a machine. Machine specific parameters include any variety of known and unknown parameters including, but not limited to, those provided in TABLE I.
Note that each parameter is specific, in the sense that a given machine either satisfies the parameter or does not satisfy the parameter. However, more than one machine may satisfy a given parameter. Thus, the greater number of parameter specified in a given request, the lesser number of machines which will satisfy the request. In this regard, it is contemplated that a request may uniquely identify a machine or group of machines by including unique machine identifiers (e.g., machine type and serial number). Allowing a user to specify a particular machine or machines in a grid provides a number of advantages to the user. For example, a user may utilize this functionality to perform benchmarking. Benchmarking refers to the systematic testing of machines to determine, for example, performance needs of a user. As an example, TABLE II shows a test list in which the user has specified a plurality of test requests to be run on selected machines of the grid. Specifically, each row is a separate test and the machines are selected according to machine specific parameters.
In addition to machine specific parameters, the request criteria may include any variety of other criterions. For example, in one embodiment, the request criteria additionally include the time to process a request and/or return a response. That is the user may specify, for example, how quickly results must be returned to the user. In one embodiment, at least some of the requests are fulfilled on a fee basis, which may be calculated by the manager 108. The fee charged may be dependant on the various criteria (referred to here as fee criteria), such as the machine specific criteria, the time to process a request and/or return a response and other request criteria defined above. In one embodiment, the manager 108 implements tiered response time pricing as described in U.S. application Ser. No. 10/659,976 filed on Sep. 12, 2003, published on Mar. 17, 2003 as PG-PUB US20050060163, entitled �Power on Demand Tiered Response Time Pricing� and herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Accordingly, the manager 108 may also monitor progress of the requests by keeping track of time spent on a particular request. In the illustrative embodiment, individual test requests for a benchmarking operation are submitted in series, wherein each consecutive request is submitted by the user upon completion of the previous request. Alternatively, the complete set of test requests for a given benchmarking operation may be submitted as a batch to the provider, which then returns results incrementally for each request or as a batch. For a given request submitted by a user to the provider (step 206), the provider receives the request (step 208) and then determines whether the request can be fulfilled (step 210). That is, the provider determines whether the grid includes a machine (or machines) satisfying the request criteria. In one embodiment, an exact match is required, while in another embodiment a degree of variance may be tolerated (e.g., by using a best-fit algorithm). If the grid does not include a machine which matches the request criteria, the request cannot be processed, and a rejection is sent to the customer (step 212). Upon receiving the rejection (step 214) the user may be prompted to indicate whether to continue processing additional test requests for a particular benchmarking operation (step 216). If the user elects not to continue, no further test requests are submitted for that benchmarking operation. If the user elects to continue, the next test request is submitted (step 206). Returning to step 210, if the machine specific request criteria is matched to a particular grid machine, the provider may then determine a fee to process the request (step 218). In one embodiment, the fee to be charged to the user is dependent upon the particular machine selected to perform the request. For example, a highly specialized machine may be more expensive than a general-purpose machine. Likewise, a machine having limited availability (e.g., due to excessive demand from other users) may cost a premium. In one embodiment, the user is permitted to request a dedicated machine to perform the user's request(s). That is, the machine will be made available exclusively to a particular user, and to the exclusion of all other users. It is contemplated that such requests for dedicated machines will also cost a premium relative to requests run on non-dedicated machines. In some cases, the fee to be charged to the user is dependent upon aspects of processing the request which cannot be predetermined (e.g., the amount of time needed to process the request). Accordingly, the fee determined prior to processing the request may be an estimate. Alternatively, the fee may be determined after the request has been processed. Once determined, the fee is sent to the user (step 220). Upon receipt (step 222), the user may accept or decline the fee (step 224), in which case an acceptance (step 226) or a rejection (step 228), respectively, is sent back to the provider. The provider receives the user's response (step 230) and determines whether the response is an acceptance or a rejection (step 232). If the response is a rejection, the provider waits for the next request (step 234); and if the response is an acceptance, the provider processes the request (step 236). Depending upon the nature of the test request, the provider may then returns results to the user (step 238). For example, the test request may have been a query to be run against a selected database or databases. For a benchmarking operation, the provider may also return various metrics (step 238), such as CPU utilization, memory paging rates, disk utilization, etc. The user may then record the results and/or metrics (step 240). If the benchmarking operation includes more test requests (step 242), the next request is submitted to the provider (step 206). The processing described above is then repeated until all of the test requests have been processed. At that point the metrics may be summarized for analysis by the user (step 244). In another embodiment, the provider 102 manages a plurality of queues specific to different request criteria. User requests are placed in particular queues according to the request criteria. Each queue may be configured with different attributes affecting, for example, the manner in which a request is processed and/or a fee to be charged for processing the request. Examples of different queues (i.e., queues having different attributes) are described below with respect to Although lines are drawn between individual queues 308 and individual resources 120 of the grid 104, this illustration is not intended to suggest a fixed relationship between queues and resources. Accordingly, a first request in the first queue 308 1 may be handled by a first grid resource 120 1 and a second request in the first queue 308 1 may be handled by a second grid resource 120 2. However, in an alternative embodiment, some or all of the queues 308 have fixed relationships with respective grid resources 120. In such an embodiment, requests placed on these queues will always be processed by the same grid resource. In one embodiment, the manager 304 (as implemented by the queue managing function 306) is responsible for monitoring the grid and routing work from the queues 308 to resources within the grid. The manager 304 may take into account the queue requirements while moving work requests on the queues and routing them to grid resources. For example, the manager 304 may choose to route a request from a �high priority� queue to a grid resource that has a specific machine resource queue associated with, potentially ahead of requests on the other queue, in order to complete the higher priority work first. It is noted that the manager 304 may perform a variety of functions in addition to the queue managing function 306. For example, Illustrative user request types supported by the manager 304 include requests for a queue type listing, completion time estimate and a grid work request. In each case, the manager 304 takes some action responsive to the request and then returns to a wait state until receipt of the next request (step 402). If the request is for a queue type listing (step 404) the manager 304 sends the queue type information to the user (step 406) and then waits for the next request (step 402). The queue type information may include a list of all available queues types on which requests may be placed, as well as any fees associated with the respective queues. Illustrative queue types are described below with respect A request for a completion time estimate (determined at step 408) would typically include a grid work request to be performed in the grid 104 and a parameter prompting the manager 304 to calculate the estimated time needed to complete the grid work request. In an alternative embodiment, the user may have already submitted the grid work request and the request for a completion time estimate is an inquiry as to the remaining time before completion. In either case, the manager 304 estimates a completion time (step 410) and sends the estimate to the user (step 412). It is contemplated that the completion time estimate includes the sum of a processing time estimate and a wait time estimate (i.e., a period of time before processing can start). Of course, if processing has already begun, the completion time estimate reflects only an estimate of the time remaining. In the latter situation the manager 304 may also return the elapsed time (i.e., the amount of time elapsed since the grid work request was received from the user and/or the amount of time elapsed since processing of the request was initiated). At some point, a user will submit a grid work request (step 414), i.e., a request to be processed using the resources 120 of the grid 104. Such requests include the necessary parameters to identify an appropriate queue on which to place the request. In this regard it is contemplated that a request may explicitly identify a queue, or include sufficient information allowing the queue managing function 306 to identify the appropriate queue. In either case, the queue managing function 306 may be invoked to route the work request to the appropriate queue (step 416). It is contemplated that the manager 304 is signaled when a work request has been completed (step 418). In one embodiment, the manager 304 then calculates a fee to be charged to the user for performing to work request (step 420). In an alternative embodiment the fee may have been calculated (or estimated) and provided to the user prior to performing to work request. The manager 304 then sends the user the results of the work request (if any), a completion notice, and/or the fee (step 422). Step 424 is representative of other events that may be handled by the manager 304. Referring now to While the foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof, and the scope thereof is determined by the claims that follow.

Verizon Creating iPad, Tablet App for Streaming TV
Verizon Creating iPad, Tablet App for Streaming TV
Nicholas Kolakowski
Posted 2010-08-18
Verizon is apparently creating an application that will stream live television programming onto iPads and other devices, such as tablet PCs and laptops, by 2011. Verizon is currently facing ire from certain tech-world segments over its recent net neutrality announcements with Google.
Verizon plans to cast its hat into the mobile-multimedia ring, according to reports, which suggest the communications provider has developed an application that will stream live television programming onto iPads and other portable devices such as tablet PCs and laptops. The application will apparently be offered in 2011 to the company's FiOS customers. "Technologically, there's no difference between this and the set-top box," Shaygan Kheradpir, Verizon's chief information officer,
reportedly said while demonstrating the app for journalists
Verizon is currently negotiating with content providers to allow their shows onto the additional screens. The company also plans a service for the fourth quarter of 2010
that will allow FiOS customers to rent or purchase movies and store them in the cloud
The cable company has also attracted the ire of certain parts of the tech community in recent days. On Aug. 9, Verizon and Google announced a plan that would preserve net neutrality principles for the Internet delivered over broadband pipes, but neglected to mention wireless networks. Groups such as the Media and Democracy Coalition subsequently argued, in a variety of forums, that the omission opened the door for Verizon and other carriers creating a "fast lane" on the wireless Internet
for companies willing to pay for it-a move they said would raise the risks and cost of entry for entrepreneurs and startups
Four members of the U.S. Congress argued in an Aug. 16 letter to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski
that Google and Verizon's net neutrality policy demanded a government response. "Rather than expansion upon a proposal by two large communication companies with a vested financial interest in the outcome, formal FCC action is needed," those lawmakers wrote. They also called on the FCC to speed its National Broadband Plan, which would extend high-speed Internet to more areas of the country.
While Verizon stands to benefit from the iPad's popularity via this streaming service, Verizon Wireless-a separate company, operationally, and a joint venture between Verizon and Vodafone-could also potentially benefit from a relationship with Apple, if the latter makes good on longstanding rumors that it will release a Verizon iPhone in early 2011. According to a TechCrunch report that circulated online at the beginning of August, Apple is already lining up manufacturers for the device. "Sources with knowledge of this entire situation have assured me that Apple has submitted orders for millions of units of Qualcomm CDMA chipsets for a Verizon iPhone run due in December,"
TechCrunch's Steve Cheney wrote in an Aug. 8 posting
. "This production run would likely be for a January launch, and I'd bet the phone is nearly 100 [percent] consistent with the current iPhone 4 (with a fixed insulator on the antenna)." The possibility also exists, of course, of an iPad on Verizon Wireless during that timeframe.

text: Serena - I don't love playing tennisBy Updated 8:18 AM ET, Mon January 2, 2012Serena Williams made an impressive comeback in Brisbane despite her revelations afterwards. Story highlightsSerena Williams reveals she does not love tennis after Brisbane victoryWilliams is impressive in straight sets win over South African Chanelle ScheepersTop seed and local favorite Samantha Stosur also cruises through to second roundSerena Williams has revealed she is not in love with playing tennis, despite an impressive straight sets victory on her return to action at the Brisbane International tournament.Playing in her first match since losing the U.S. Open final to Samantha Stosur in September, Williams brushed aside South African Chanelle Scheepers 6-2 6-3 with consummate ease.The 30-year-old American, who is seeded fourth in Brisbane, fired down seven aces in a 68-minute victory -- but later told reporters that she will cut back her schedule even further in 2012.Clijsters returns with convincing victory"I just want to be able to do other things that I'm doing and expand on that. I think that helps keep my motivation up," said the 13-time grand slam winner."I don't love tennis today but I'm here. I can't live without it -- there's a difference between not loving something and not being able to live without it."It's not that I've fallen out of love with it. I've actually never liked sports and I never understood how I became an athlete," Williams continued."I don't like working out, I don't like anything physical. If it involves sitting down or shopping, I'm excellent at it."In other matches, top seed and local favorite Stosur beat Anastasiya Yakimova of Belarus 6-2 6-3 and is on course to face Williams again in the semifinals.Second seed Andrea Petkovic of Germany defeated Israeli Shahar Peer 7-6 1-6 6-3, while former world number one Ana Ivanovic saw off Austrian Tamira Paszek 6-3 6-3 and now faces Kim Clijsters.More from tennisMarion Bartoli: Former Wimbledon champion ponders comeback ... on TwitterRafa is back: Closes in on long-standing record with Buenos Aires title rompRoger Federer beats Novak Djokovic to win Dubai Tennis ChampionshipsPowered by Livefyre

A TV documentary team has revealed that Adolf Hitler owed 400,000 marks in back tax, which is worth £1.75 million now.
The leader of the Nazi Party had numerous money-making schemes and even copyrighted his own image, which earned him royalties for every stamp sold that featured his face, the Mirror reported.
According to Channel 5's program The Hunt for Hitler's Missing Millions, much of this was hidden from Germany's tax authorities after his rise to power; even his income included cash for speeches and public appearances. A will he signed hours before he shot himself in a Berlin bunker in April 1945 hid the fact he was a billionaire.
Dr. Chris Whetton, in his book Hitler's Fortune estimated that the dictator's wealth at its peak was likely to have been 1.1 billion reichsmarks, which are £3.6 billion today.
Keywords: Adolf Hitler, tax evasion

It's no secret that the beauty product industry exaggerates the effectiveness of products, but a recent L'Oreal skin cream ad with Rachel Weisz went too far, according to UK government officials.
According to Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson, the Revitalift Repair 10 product "misleadingly exaggerated" what it could actually do for consumers.
Ready to plant their roots in the Big Apple, newlyweds Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz have reportedly plunked down some serious cash for their posh new New York City pad.
According to the New York Post, the "Dream House" costars have settled on a spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment - all for which they paid a cool $11.5 million.
"Prepare for the unexpected" is the exciting tagline of the new promotional poster for the upcoming action flick "The Bourne Legacy."
The latest Bourne film stars Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Oscar Isaac, Joan Allen, Albert Finney, and Scott Glenn in the latest chapter of the popular series.
Taking press duties to the Spanish capital city, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" co-stars Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara attended the film's Madrid premiere on Wednesday evening (January 4).
Paying a visit to the City of Lights, Daniel Craig and wife Rachel Weisz were spotted making their way through the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris on Tuesday (January 3).
The A-List couple held hands and smiled for fans and photographers as they were escorted through the terminal and out to an awaiting ride.
Tinseltown romance has always been a fun phenomenon to observe, and over the past year we've seen a plethora of celebrities fall in love, get engaged, and tie the knot.
Britney Spears made headlines this month by accepting a marriage proposal from her longtime boyfriend Jason Trawick. The "Toxic" songstress will walk down the aisle a third time in the months to come.
Tending to promotional duties, Rachel Weisz was spotted at the BAFTA photocall for her upcoming film "The Deep Blue Sea" in London, England earlier today (November 25).
Showing off her effortlessly chic style, the "Dream House" actress dressed in a black jacket, striped top, and leather pants as she posed for photogs covering the UK event.
They may have tied the knot more than five months ago, but Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig are still feeling the butterflies of their big day.
