Very Family Friendly 3 bedroom/3.5 bath town home - we cater to families with children. Highest occupancy home in Deer Valley - find out why.
Note - WE DO NOT ADVERTISE ON CRAIGSLIST. IF YOU SEE OUR HOME LISTED THERE IT IS A FRAUDULENT LISTING.
TO VIEW MORE PHOTOS OF BOTH OF OUR DEER VALLEY PROPERTIES INCLUDING 360 PANORAMAS GO ONLINE AT HeringVacationProperties Dot Com. FIND OUR WHY WE ARE TYPICALLY BOOKED FOR OVER 90% OF AVAILABLE SKI DATES VERSUS OTHER PROPERTIES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 50% BOOKINGS (HINT - OVER HALF OF OUR RENTALS ARE REPEAT GUESTS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS - A SURE SIGN THAT WE OFFER MORE THAN OTHER PROPERTIES).
We are the owners of this completely renovated, family friendly, luxury 2143 sq.ft, spacious, 3 bedroom/3.5 bath townhouse located in Park City's exclusive Upper Deer Valley area which offers breathtaking mountain views, a private hot tub, private 2 car garage, top of the line sound system, all new HD SMART Flat Screen TV's in every bedroom and in living room and less than a 5 minute walk to the Silver Lake Slopes and Silver Lake Lodge.
Walk 2 1/2 minutes from our property and take the 'secret shortcut' ski access trail through the woods and over a ski bridge onto the Success Trail at Deer Valley. You will quickly see why Ski Magazine readers continue to rate Deer Valley as Americas #1 Ski Resort.
The Ridge at Silver Lake, one of the Upper Deer Valley's most sought after communities, was built as one of the premier communities in the area. There are only 24 units in this quiet enclave each with fantastic views. You will notice that the architect and builder of these units certainly had a good eye for details from the 2-story high wood beamed ceiling in the living room to the abundance of windows which take advantage of the stunning views and warming sunlight to the 2 car garage. The details reflect the high quality that Deer Valley is known for. You will see why many call Deer Valley the country's most luxurious ski area (while still maintaining a refreshing down to earth attitude).
Whether you are relaxing in the soothing waters of our private outdoor hot tub or a comfortable steam shower in the master bedroom, cooking a gourmet meal in the well appointed kitchen, grilling out on the balcony on our new Weber grill while enjoying the spectacular views of the mountains or just enjoying a good book in front of a crackling fire in the living room, you will fall in love with our beautiful new mountainside home, the Ridge at Silver Lake community, the Silver Lake Village and the incredible slopes of Deer Valley.
WHY OUR RIDGE TOWN HOME? OUR HOME IS VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY. We offer so many amenities and extras from 2 pack n' play cribs, to over 100 family friendly DVD's plus free access to 20,000 movies on Netflix and HULU Plus (easy access with the push of a button on each smart TV remote), a huge collection of toys, games, books, dolls, dress up clothes, stuffed animals, side rails for the beds, high chair, even a rocker for very small children. Our kitchen cabinets are stocked from olive oil, vinegar, balsamic vinegar, sugar, coffee, creamer, tea, dozens of spices, hot cocoa, and more. We want our guests to feel right at home and spend more time together as a family and on the slopes instead of shopping for the basics. This property has been professionally updated including adding new furniture throughout, new carpeting, new artwork, new kitchen appliances, new granite counters and slate floors in 3 bathrooms, faux painting, new plumbing fixtures, new door hardware, new Jacuzzi tub in master, new flat screen TV's, 20,000 Movies to choose from on NETFLIX STREAMING, Blue Ray DVD players and top of the line sound system, etc. WE ALSO HAVE XBOX 360 AND WII FOR OUR GUESTS. Our goal is to offer our guests the best of the best, a home that guests will want to come back to year after year. Judging the response from our guests they have noticed and both our Ridge Property and Arrowleaf Property together typically have an over 90% occupancy rate (likely tops on the mountain!).
A leisurely five minute walk will bring you to nine quality restaurants (including Mariposa which Zagat rated best in the state and another rated as having one of the best wine cellars in the world!), the shops of Silver Lake Village, the Silver Lake Lodge, and the five-diamond Stein Eriksen Lodge. Drive 5 minutes down the mountain and you will be in Park City's lovely downtown. Here you will find restaurants of every cuisine, a wide selection of art galleries, a sledding park and many unique shops.

Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Our family lives in Florida and goes to Deer Valley every March during our children's Spring Break and then most of the summer. It is our favorite place to ski in the winters and to enjoy the outdoors during the summer and fall. We hope you can enjoy our home and see why more families choose our town home than almost any other property in Deer Valley (over 90% occupancy compared to average occupancy rate of under 50% for comparable properties).
Why the Owner Chose Ridge:
We looked at dozens of properties in Deer Valley and the Ridge at Silver Lake community stood out far ahead of every other property. Why? It is an easy 5 minute walk to the slopes of Upper Deer Valley. Upper Deer Valley also called Silver Lake is the mid-mountain area of Deer Valley and so it is much less crowded than lower Deer Valley (also known as Snow Park). Only the guests and owners in Silver Lake start out their skiing here so it is much more enjoyable to begin your ski day here. Also, there are 9 wonderful restaurants within walking distance (including Stein Eriksen's, Mariposa, and Goldener Hirsch) along with shops within the Silver Lake Village area. In Snow Park there are no restaurants to walk to and enjoy so when the slopes are closed you must drive to downtown Park City for dining. A few other notes. Our town home is close to the slopes yet is off the main road so it offers privacy along with fantastic views of the slopes of Deer Valley. It is also an easy 1.9 mile drive down to Park City's main street. Salt Lake City is an easy 30-40 minute drive and there are many direct flights to cities around the country. This easy access was a big reason that Salt Lake City and Deer Valley hosted the Winter Olympics. Also, there are many choices for enjoying other nearby ski resorts Park City Mountain Resort, The Canyons, Snowbird, Alta, Brighton, Solitude, Snowbasin, Sundance, Powder Mountain, and Wolf Mountain.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
Our property is literally a 5 minute walk from the Silver Lake Village, mid-mountain slopes of Deer Valley, numerous wonderful restaurants, and the spa at Stein Eriksen Lodge. It also has plenty of space allowing our children to play outside during the winter as well as the summer (we spend two months during the summer here every year). It is very private yet so close to the mountain, downtown Park City (1.9 mile drive) and Salt Lake City International Airport (30-40 minutes). Out townhome has been remodeled completely from top to bottom (unlike most other properties which are often quite dated). We cater to families with children (unlike most other properties in the area). We also can help our guests get access to the best ski rental equipment, and discounted lift tickets.

3 Reasons Why Plastic Bollards Will Save You Money
Are you sick of wasting money maintaining bollards? This report will reveal the secrets to…
- Long Lasting
- Low maintenance
- Cost effective installation.
Quick Contact
Replas is Australia's leading manufacturer of recycled-plastic products. The company has developed world leading technology to reprocesses Australia's plastic waste into a range of over 200 robust products. This technology offers the ability to mix different plastic polymers together to create complex three dimensional shapes and produce a large range of colour options. This process is unique to Replas and allows for greater possibility with design.
The range includes bollards, signage, outdoor furniture, fitness equipment and decking as well as products suitable for traffic control, parks and gardens and the utilities industry. Replas products are low maintenance and designed to last as recycled plastic is resistant to termites, microorganisms and moisture, and will never split, rot, crack or need painting.
Enduroplank™ decking is especially suitable for marine environments as salt water will not corrode the material even when submerged. By combining Enduroplank™ decking with a composite fibre sub-structure Replas can create a structure that contains no timber or metal, other than fixings and brackets, ensuring a long lasting construction. Composite fibre piers, bearers and joists are extremely strong and durable, yet light weight—requiring minimal equipment to install. This combination makes these products ideal for a myriad of commercial applications including boardwalks, jetties, footpaths, staircases and bridges.
To ensure that you have the best possible installation Replas has assembled a team of experts in the landscaping, land development and infrastructure industries. The Diamond Alliance Program connects you to the very best contractors who are fully trained in all aspects of working with recycled plastic and composite fibre. For major projects Replas can offer customers a complete service managing the overall planning, coordination and control of a project from inception to completion.
Replas is committed to helping the environment by reducing the amount of plastic currently going to landfill. Many Australian companies who have taken corporate responsibility for the plastic waste they create, such as Dulux and Coles, have reduced their environmental impact by partnering with Replas to ensure their plastic waste is recycled and reused within Australia.

"Every male over the age of 30 should know his testosterone level," says Brian P. Black, President and CEO of Rejuve Health Clinics, Inc. "At RHC, we go beyond just testing a patient's T levels. Our experienced team of medical professionals provides patients with a full medical write-up, testing their heart, prostate and cholesterol levels to determine whether testosterone replacement therapy is right for them."
New studies performed in the United States, Germany and Korea highlight the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy for men. Researchers examined 100+ men who received testosterone therapy for five years and discovered the men experienced statistically significant weight loss accompanied by changes in total cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Also, the positive effects of testosterone therapy can be sustained after treatment ends in men who exercise.
Rejuve Health Clinics (RHC), Inc., Orlando's Premier Testosterone Replacement Therapy Center, was established by Founder James Skalko in June 2013. Brian P. Black is the President and CEO and Dr. Chester Miltenberger is the lead doctor and medical director of RHC. Rejuve Health Clinics, Inc. diagnoses and treats malepatients withsymptomsof hypogonadism (low T). We are dedicated to helping men with low testosterone regain their vitality and achieve optimal health. Our doctors and experienced medical professionals help address the many symptoms caused by this medical condition including fatigue, decreased energy, low motivation, weight gain and diminished sex drive. For more information, visit www.rejuvehealthclinics.com or call (407) 331-LowT.

Latest No Man's Sky demo answers one question, creates ten more
Oct 5, 2015 | 17 Comments
Shocking news, the PlayStation 4 version of the upcoming Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition, will run at a full 1080p and at 60 frames per second. Why is that impressive? Because the Xbox One version of the game will run at 900p.
When asked about the reason behind the two versions and their difference in resolution, Senior Producer, Julia Humphreys, has stated "We're prioritizing frame rate."
Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition will be the complete bundle, including the base game as well as the first major expansion, Reaper of Souls, and is scheduled to release on August 19th.

Southern California wasters, listen up
"Hunger is not a supply problem, it's a distribution problem."

This beautiful Riad is situated about a 15-20 minute walk away from the main square in a local friendly, quiet (apart from the occasional call to prayer from the local mosque) neighbourhood. We spent 4 nights there and we LOVED it. The room we had was big, with a large comfortable bed and like the rest of the Riad immaculately clean. It has a relaxed and homely atmosphere which is a very welcome escape from the chaotic central Marrakech. A little bit of traditional Moroccan tranquility. There's even a roof terrace.
This isn't the best thing about the place, Michel the Riad Al Kada's owner makes this already special place perfect. He makes you feel like a long lost friend from the moment you arrive to the minute you leave. He walked with us to near the square on our first night, left little cakes in our room as a treat on one day, and we decided to have dinner at the Riad one night which was the best food we had in a romantic setting, the highlight of our trip. There was even farewell hugs when we left.
We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Marrakech.

But I also too an ovulation test this morning and only one line showed up. What the...? What does this mean, am I ovulating or not? And if I am, how long do I have to DTD before its over? According to the "my days" app, I am supposed to ovulate on the 30th. Someone please help. I feel so silly and clueless all of a sudden!!

"My Days" and the testing worked better for me than the "natural planning." I do believe you have 2 days before and one day after ovulation to conceive.

Sperm can live for up to 5 days inside your body. So 5 days before and 1 day after ovulation. I charted my temp, cm, and opks on fertility friend and it helped a lot. It's weird that you only got 1 line on your opk. Every opk I've ever seen has 2 lines regardless, you just go by darkness of the test line compared to the control. Maybe it was defective? Try taking another one. Good luck :)

Mrismomma, the test actually says that if 2 lines show up then it means you are going to start ovulating. One line shows up no matter what, but it's the second that let's you know. I would take another but I just took the last one:( Anyway, I'm going to dtd everyday till the 30th. That should guarantee something! Lol

Oh ok :) the ones I've used always have 2 lines, whether it's negative or positive.

Black and Latino Freshmen Enrollment Falls at CUNY Post-Recession: Report
The number of black and Latino students enrolling as first-year freshman at CUNY's four-year colleges declined post-recession, according to a new report.
The study, done by Community Service Society using CUNY data, found that blacks made up just ten percent of freshman enrollees at Baruch, Brooklyn, City, Hunter and Queens colleges in 2010, down from 17 percent in 2001. The Latino population also saw a slight decline, after making gains in the earlier part of the decade.
The report found that applications to CUNY increased because of the recession, which resulted in higher admissions standards and a corresponding increase in SAT scores and GPAs from prospective students, according to the analysis.
CSS President and CEO David Jones said an unforeseen consequence was the displacement of black and Latino students.
But he added that it's not just "A CUNY problem."
"We issued the report not to wave fingers at CUNY, but to start looking at what we can do to stabilize this, because we think it may be part of an ongoing trend that could be devastating," he explained.
The report had a number of recommendations including instituting a conditional admissions program, which would offer students remedial classes to improve, or changing admissions standards.
CUNY said the report doesn't present a complete picture.
CUNY spokesman Michael Arena explained that the analysis doesn't take into account the rising number of black and Latino transfer students, or the higher number of those who are graduating from CUNY schools.
Jones noted that the findings of the report are also indicative of problems at the grade school and community college levels. He hopes the CSS analysis will spark further discussion on increasing diversity in New York's education system.

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a distributed computer enterprise and more particularly to a system and method for managing locale and time zone sensitive operations within the distributed computer enterprise.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] Large organizations now desire to place all of their computing resources on a computer network. To this end, it is known to connect computers in a large, geographically dispersed network environment and to manage such an environment in a distributed manner. Illustratively, one such management framework consists of a server that manages a number of nodes, each of which has a local object database that stores object data specific to the local node. Each managed node typically includes a management framework, comprising a number of management routines that is capable of a relatively large number of simultaneous network connections to remote machines. The framework manages hundreds of megabytes of local storage and can spawn many dozens of simultaneous processes to handle requests from local or remote users.
[0005] In a conventional distributed computer environment it is often assumed that a server and its clients are operating in the same locale and or time zone. This assumption no longer holds true for e-business and web applications. Managed nodes are often located across national boundaries. Thus, a typical managed network of the type described above may include offices located in numerous countries. Due to the worldwide acceptance of the Internet, a server is now more likely than ever to be physically located across a time zone. It is also likely that the client will make a request that requires using cultural formatting conventions that are different from those of the server's locale. Conventionally, when a server processes a request from a client, the server will treat the request as if it occurred in the locale of the server. Without regard to the locale of the client, the server will impose its own local conventions when generating the results from the request. The client then receives the results of the request in a format that is unfamiliar to the user.
[0006]FIG. 1 illustrates one example of the results from a conventional request made by a user/client on a server. In this example, a Spanish client 102 has invoked a locale-sensitive request on an American server 104. In the conventional distributed computer environment, the server always imposes its locale upon the client. Consequently, the Spanish client will receive results in the format and time zone of the American locale and not in the desired Spanish locale. As shown, the desired result 106 of the Spanish client 102 was dramatically different from the actual result 108 returned by the American server 104. In the actual result, the server has translated the day and month from Spanish to the English language and has also changed the day/date format to an American format. The American server changed the Spanish currency format by substituting commas for periods. And finally, the American server disregarded the accent "˜" over the "n" in the Spanish word pi�a. This resulted in the American server providing an incorrect sorted list.
[0007] A conventional method for solving this problem is to add an extra parameter to all locale and time zone sensitive requests sent to the server. The parameter-addition solution, though outwardly simple, is intrusive, error prone and has serious limitations in real-life enterprise environments. For already deployed distributed applications, it is not possible to change interfaces for the introduction of extra parameters without incurring substantial network management overhead. Further, some protocols/languages will not support an extra parameter. For example, structured query language (SQL) queries do not have a placeholder to accommodate locale or time zone information.
[0008] Another possible solution would be a method that associates a client's internationalization context comprising client locale and time zone information with every business method request. A business method request is any method request such as a database search, banking transaction, stock transaction, or the like processed at a server. The business method request would then be processed using the client's internationalization context. While this solution may be suitable for many J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) or CORBA (Component Object Resource Broker Architecture) implementations, some server-side components may want to exercise greater control over the internationalization context.
[0009] For certain components there is a need to execute under an internationalization context which potentially can be different from the client or caller's internationalization context. Certain database applications may want to always issue SQL queries in a fixed locale. For example, the SQL query, "SELECT cust_name FROM cust_table where cust_name <='N', will not return any string starting with "�" if it is executed within a Spanish locale. Although it may be possible to alter the internationalization context programmatically, this is not the most desirable approach. Any programmatic alteration of the internationalization context is considered to be a hard-wire fixed approach. If a different internationalization context is ever desired, the application component may need to be re-programmed.
[0010] Therefore, there is a need for a method and system for controlling the contents of internationalization context without requiring programmatic manipulation.
[0011] Embodiments of the present invention generally provide an article of manufacture, method and system for processing remote client requests in a distributed computer network using the client's specified time zone and locale conventions. In one embodiment, a server computer in a distributed computing environment, having a plurality of nodes across geographically dispersed boundaries contains an internationalization process. The internationalization process, when executed by a processor of the server computer, processes requests from a client computer according to an internationalization context provided by the client and configured by an internationalization management policy.
[0012] In another embodiment, a server computer receives a first request from a remote client computer. Illustratively, the server computer then receives a second request from the client computer wherein the second request comprises an internationalization context comprising the client's preferred conventions for processing the first request. The server computer retrieves an internationalization management policy and configures the internationalization context according to the management policy. The server computer then processes the first request according to the configured internationalization context.
[0013] In still another embodiment, a server computer in a distributed computing environment receives an internationalization context from a client computer. The server then processes further requests from the client computer according to the internationalization context that is configured by an internationalization management policy.
[0014] 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.
[0015] 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.

[0024]FIG. 8 illustrates a flowchart of the method at the server computer.
[0025] The present embodiments provide an article of manufacture, a method and a system for processing client requests in a distributed computer network using the user's specified locale conventions. In one embodiment, a client sends a business method request along with associated internationalization context to a remote server. The internationalization context comprises client locale specific information comprising preferred location and time zone information used in processing the associated business method request. The internationalization context is composed according to an internationalization context management policy. The application server extracts the internationalization context associated with and obtains the internationalization context management policy assigned to the incoming business method request. The server-side application then processes the associated business method request according to the internationalization context and the internationalization context management policy. In another embodiment, the server forwards the client's business method request to a second server and propagates the internationalization context to the second server.
[0026]FIG. 2 illustrates one embodiment of a large distributed computer environment 200, also referred to as the managed environment, comprising up to thousands of "nodes". The nodes will typically be geographically dispersed and the overall environment is "managed" in a distributed manner. Preferably, the managed environment (ME) 200 is logically broken down into a series of loosely-connected managed regions (MR) 212, each with its own management server 214 for managing local resources with the MR. The network typically will include other servers (not shown) for carrying out other distributed network functions. These include name servers, security servers, file servers, thread servers and the like. Multiple servers 214 coordinate activities across the enterprise and permit remote management and operation. Each server 214 serves a number of gateway machines 216, each of which in turn support a plurality of endpoint machines 218. The server 214 coordinates all activity within the MR using terminal node manager 210.
[0027]FIG. 3A illustrates each gateway machine 216 that runs a server component 320 of a system management framework. The server component 320 is a multi-threaded runtime process that comprises several components: an object request broker (ORB) 310, an authorization service 330, object location service 350 and basic object adapter (BOA) 370. Server component 320 also includes an object library 390. Preferably, the ORB 310 runs continuously, separate from the operating system and it communicates with both server and client processes through separate stubs and skeletons via an inter-process communication (IPC) facility 219. In particular, a secure remote procedure call (PRC) is used to invoke operations on remote objects. Gateway machine 216 also includes a thread mechanism 217. The thread mechanism 217 is known in the art and assigns a thread identifier to each request made by a user at a gateway machine 216. The thread identifier may be any alphanumeric representation. The thread identifier is associated with the request so that the server can track the request and send a response to the proper gateway machine 216.
[0028] The system management framework includes a client component 340 supported on each of the endpoint machines 218. The client component 340 is a low cost, low maintenance application suite that is preferably "data-less" in the sense that system management data is not cached or stored there in a persistent manner. Implementation of the management framework in this "client-server" manner has significant advantages over the prior art, and it facilitates the connectivity of personal computers into the managed environment. Using an object-orientated approach, the system management framework facilitates execution of system management tasks required to manage the resources in the MR.
[0029] In a large computer enterprise such as illustrated in FIG. 2, preferably there is one server per MR with some number of gateways. For a workgroup-size installation 400 (a local area network, for example) such as illustrated in FIG. 4, a single server class machine 402 may be used as the server and gateway to a plurality of terminal nodes 404. References herein to a distinct server and one or more gateway(s) should thus not be taken by way of limitation as these elements may be combined into a single platform. For intermediate size installations, the MR grows with additional gateways then being used to balance the load of the endpoints.
[0030] The server 214 is the top-level authority over all gateway and endpoints. The server maintains an endpoint list, which keeps track of every endpoint in a managed region. This list preferably contains all information necessary to uniquely identify and manage endpoints including, without limitation, such information as name, location, and machine type. The server also maintains the mapping between endpoints and gateways, and this mapping is preferably dynamic.
[0031] Illustratively, there are one or more gateways per managed region. Preferably, a gateway is a fully managed node that has been configured to operate as a gateway. Initially, a gateway "knows" nothing about endpoints. As endpoints log-in, the gateway builds an endpoint list for its endpoints. The gateway's duties preferably include listening for endpoint login requests, listening for endpoint update requests, and acting as a gateway for method invocations on endpoints.
[0032] The endpoint is a machine running the system management framework client component, which is referred to herein as a management agent. The management agent has two main parts, the daemon 340 a and application runtime library 340 b, as illustrated in FIG. 3B. The daemon 340 a is responsible for endpoint login and for spawning application endpoint executables. Once an executable is spawned, the daemon 340 a has no further interaction with it. Each executable is linked with the application runtime library 340 b, which handles all further communication with the gateway.
[0033] Preferably, the server and each of the gateways are a computer or "machine". As an illustration, each computer may be a RISC (reduced instruction set computer) System/6000� running AIX (Advanced Interactive Executive) operating system. Suitable alternative machines include an IBM-compatible PC running Novell UnixWare or an AT&T 3000 series machine running AT&T UNIX. Other machines and/or operating systems may be used for the gateway and server machines.
[0034] Each endpoint is also a computer. In one embodiment, the endpoints are personal computers such as desktop machines, laptops, hand-held personal digital assistants (PDA) or the like. The endpoints need not be high powered or complex machines or workstations. Illustratively, one or more of the endpoints may be a notebook computer, for example, the IBM ThinkPad� machine, some other Intel x86 or Pentium�-based computer running the Windows operating system or IBM-compatible machines running under the OS/2� operating system. An endpoint computer preferably includes an Internet client navigation program such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. An endpoint computer thus may be connected to a gateway via the Internet, an Intranet or some other computer network. The connection to a gateway may be wireless using radio frequency energy, visible or non-visible light emissions or through a hard-wire link.
[0035] It should be understood that the network environment of FIG. 2 is merely illustrative. The particular arrangement and devices of the network environment are not so limited. More generally, any distributed system may used to advantage.
[0036] Moreover, while the embodiments have and hereinafter will be described in the context of fully functioning computers and computer systems, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the various embodiments of the invention are capable of being distributed as a program product in a variety of forms, and that embodiments of the invention apply equally regardless of the particular type of signal bearing media used to actually carry out the distribution. Examples of signal bearing media include, but are not limited to, recordable type media such as volatile and nonvolatile memory devices, floppy and other removable disks, hard disk drives, optical disks (e.g., CD-ROMs, DVDs, etc.), and transmission type media such as digital and analog communication links. Transmission type media include information conveyed to a computer by a communications medium, such as through a computer or telephone network, and includes 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.
[0037] In one embodiment, a computer system operative in the managed environment provides declarative policies for managing internationalization context comprising locale and time zone information. Illustratively, the management policies may be specified in XML (Extensive Markup Language) that is read and parsed by a J2EE or CORBA deployment of the internationalization context. XML is a specification designed for Internet Web documents that allows the definition, transmission, validation, and interpretation of data between application components.
[0038] As an illustration, all J2EE and CORBA application components are hosted in containers. A container is the architected element within an application server that manages the lifecycle of and provides the runtime environment for application components. Containers for J2EE (as published by Sun Microsystems) and CORBA (as published by the Object Management Group) manages the lifecycle and provides the runtime environment for application components.
[0039] With each business method dispatch, a client computer propagates to a server caller internationalization context (CIC) comprising client preferred locale and time zone information of the client application component. The computer servicing the request (a server computer for example) will extract the CIC associated with the incoming request. Using XML, the computer will then determine the requested business method implementation and the associated internationalization context management policy from the container hosting the application component. It may further obtain associated internationalization context elements from the container, also specified using XML, if required by the management policy. The computer will then compose an invocation internationalization context (IIC) according to the management policy by using internationalization elements derived by the caller, the local process, or the container. The IIC is the locale and time zone information under which the requested business method is processed. The computer associates the CIC and the IIC to the thread that will execute the business method request and then dispatches the request. Once dispatched, the CIC and IIC are obtained so that the method implementation can use them to localize processing of the request.
[0040] As an illustration, invocation internationalization context policies may be application-managed internationalization, bean managed internationalization and container managed internationalization. These policies are discussed in detail below.
[0041] Application Managed Internationalization (AMI)
[0042] Illustratively, an application can access locale and time zone information of the invocation internationalization context using the appropriate application-programming interface (API). The Application Managed Internationalization policy directs the container to transfer control for managing invocation internationalization context to the application developer. For J2EE and CORBA Java application clients, this is the only applicable internationalization context management policy.
[0043] The AMI policy may be applied to application components deployable within the J2EE Web and Client containers. A Web container is the architected element of a J2EE-compliant application server that manages the lifecycle of and provides the runtime environment for Web-based Java application components. This includes Java Servlets and Java Server Pages (JSP). A Client container manages the lifecycle of and provides the runtime environment for J2EE Java application clients. The J2EE Java application clients are essentially non-managed and require minor support from their container. CORBA application servant objects also may operate under the AMI policy. XML descriptors are used to convey the AMI context management policy to the container when deploying such application components. When servicing a Servlet or JSP business method, the Web container will supply the AMI policy descriptor. When servicing a client request, the Client container assumes the AMI policy. In the event that a business method running under the AMI policy issues a subsequent business method request and did not set an invocation internationalization context element via the API, the servicing computer will propagate the element derived from the local process along with the request.
[0044] Bean Managed Internationalization (BMI)
[0045] Illustratively, BMI is applicable only to Enterprise JavaBeans known in the art. In one embodiment of the present application, the policies of BMI are identical to that of AMI described above. An Enterprise JavaBean is a distributed object model for Java server-side application components that are deployed within and exercised by J2EE-compliant application servers. There are three main types of Enterprise JavaBeans. Those are session beans, entity beans, and message-driven beans. Enterprise JavaBean implementations will primarily provide business logic and database access functions within a J2EE application. The BMI context management policy may be applied to all types of Enterprise JavaBeans.
[0046] At deployment, an application's Enterprise JavaBeans are loaded into an EJB Container. The EJB container is the architected element of a J2EE-compliant application server that manages the lifecycle of and provides the runtime environment for an Enterprise JavaBeans. XML descriptors are used to specify the BMI context management policy to the container. When servicing an Enterprise JavaBean business method, the EJB container will provide the associated BMI policy descriptor. In the event that an EJB business method implementation invokes another business method and did not set an invocation internationalization context element via the API, the servicing computer will propagate the element derived from the local process along with the request.
[0047] Container Managed Internationalization (CMI)
[0048] As an illustration, CMI is the preferred management policy for server-side components. The various application component containers assume the responsibility of managing the invocation internationalization context. For a component (or business method) deployed as CMI, an application developer does not have the ability to set any element of the invocation internationalization context. Illustratively, CMI policy can be RunAsCaller, RunAsServer or RunAsSpecified.
[0049] Under the RunAsCaller policy, a business method will get executed under the internationalization context of the caller (client). The invocation internationalization context comprises the locale and time zone information associated with the inbound call.
[0050] Under the RunAsServer policy, a business method will get executed under the internationalization context of the server process. The invocation internationalization context comprises the locale and time zone information of the server process.
[0051] Under the RunAsSpecified policy, the locale and time zone information is specified in the XML deployment descriptor of the application component. A business method will get executed under the locale and time zone specified in the deployment descriptor. In the event that a business method implementation invokes another business method, and an invocation internationalization context element was not specified via the XML descriptor, the servicing computer will propagate the element derived from the local process along with the request.
[0052] Deployment Descriptors
[0053] Illustratively, deployment descriptors, illustratively written in XML, provide the mechanism for declaratively managing internationalization context within applications at the time of deployment. Although the XML examples that follow describe the management of internationalization context within J2EE application components, CORBA application components may also be deployed using similar XML schemes. Furthermore, while the examples utilize Java formalisms, other programming methods are equally applicable.
[0054] A Servlet or JSP can be deployed in a J2EE Web application with an 'internationalization-type' element. The internationalization-type element specifies a server-side Web component's internationalization type. As an illustration, the internationalization type element may be either "Application" (<internationalization type>Application</internationalization type>) or "Container" (<internationalization type>Container</internationalization type>). In one embodiment, the default internationalization type element is "Container".
[0055] Illustratively, as used in container managed internationalization, an EJB can be deployed in a J2EE application in a similar manner to that of a Servlet or JSP described above. For Enterprise JavaBeans, the internationalization-type element can be either "Bean" or "Container". For container managed internationalization, there is an internationalization-attribute element specifying the value of the internationalization context that is associated to an invoked business method. Illustratively, the internationalization-attribute element may be RunAsCaller, RunAsServer or RunAsSpecified. The default is RunAsCaller for session and entity beans. For message-driven beans, the default is RunAsServer
[0056] Illustratively, as used in the RunAsSpecified container internationalization, the locale element specifies the locale under which a server-side web component or the business method of an Enterprise JavaBean will execute. As an illustration, the first element may be a one or two letter ISO-639 language code. The second element may be a two-letter ISO-3166 country code. The third element, if present, may indicate a variance where for example, a country code can be specified to be empty. The presence of a variant element mandates the presence of a non-empty country element. The time zone element specifies the time zone under which a server-side web component or the business method of an EJB will execute. The value of a time zone element is any valid time zone identification contained in the Java Software Development Kit (SDK). The SDK, developed by Sun Microsystems, is the software development kit for developing Java applications.
[0057]FIG. 5 shows a network environment illustrating the propagation of the internationalization context 506 from a client request to a remote server and then to another server and a back-end data store. The client 502 is located in a French locale and CET (Central European Time) time zone. The invocation internationalization context 506, comprising the client's locale and time-zone information, is transmitted separately from the called method function m1( . . . ). Upon receiving the client request at the server 510, deployed as RunAsCaller CMI, in the Japan locale and JST (Japanese standard time) time zone, the server 510 will extract the client's internationalization context and, according to the context management policy, provide the client's internationalization context to request. In this example, it is necessary to further process the client request at another remote server 512, deployed as RunAsSpecified, located in the Great Britain locale and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) time zone. Since the deployment of server 512 is RunAsSpecified, the server 512 creates an invocation internationalization context 508 comprising the deployment specified English locale and EST (eastern standard time) time zone when further servicing the request at the back-end data store 514 through a J2EE connector.
[0058]FIG. 6A illustrates one embodiment of the internationalization context data structure 600. The internationalization context data structure 600 comprises an ordered array of locales 610 and a time-zone identifier 612. The ordered array of locales is a sequential list of preferred locales for processing the client request. Illustratively, the most preferred locale will be selected for the client locale. FIG. 6B further illustrates the data structure for a locale entry 602 contained in the ordered array of locales 610. Illustratively, the locale entry 602 comprises a language code 614, a country code 616 and a variant-string 618. The language code 614 may be a two character ISO-639 standard identifier. The country code 616 may be a two character ISO-3166 standard identifier. The variant-string 618 may contain further locale sensitive information such as currency formatting data or specifying a region within a country, for example. One of ordinary skill will appreciate that the foregoing illustrated example of the internationalization context data structure 600 is merely representative. It should be appreciated that other logical combinations of locale specific information may be contained in the internationalization context data structure 600. In particular, the internationalization context 610 and the time zone identifier 612 may be spread over a plurality of data structures and cross referenced by pointers.
[0059] In one embodiment, the internationalization context 600 may be implemented as a service context, processed by the ORB 210 (see FIG. 2) within CORBA (common object request broker architecture). CORBA is an architecture that enables application components, called objects, to communicate with one another regardless of what programming language they were written in or what operating system they are running on. There are several implementations of CORBA, the most widely used being IBM's SOM (system object model) and DSOM (distributed system object model) architectures. SOM is a programming architecture developed by IBM that allows binary code to be shared by different applications. DSOM is a version of SOM that supports sharing binary objects across networks.
[0060]FIG. 7 illustrates a flowchart implementing management of the internationalization context at a client side. The routine begins at step 702 whenever the client application component invokes a remote business method. In preparation for the population of locale and time zone elements within the context to be propagated (PC), all element areas are created and initialized.
[0061] At step 704, the invocation context associated with the current thread is obtained and its elements are copied into the PC. Illustratively, the invocation context comprises locale and time zone information and context management policies. At step 706, the routine queries if the locale information in the internationalization context is set to null data. If so, the routine places the locale information from the default setting of the client computer and places it in the internationalization context at step 708 and proceeds to step 710. If the internationalization context is not set to null data, the routine, at step 710, queries if the time zone information is set to null data. If so, the routine attempts to extract the time zone information from the current process environment at step 712 and proceeds to step 714. At step 714, the routine queries if the time zone information was successfully extracted from the current process environment. If so, the routine proceeds to step 716 where the time zone is set to the extracted time zone. If not, the routine proceeds to step 718 where the time zone is set to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The routine then proceeds to step 720.
[0062] At step 720, the information contained in the internationalization context is converted into serialized form and then placed with the outgoing RMI-IIOP request at step 722. The routine then proceeds to step 724 where the request is marshaled to the server.
[0063]FIG. 8 illustrates a flowchart for computing the internationalization context 600 propagated to a server computer. The routine begins at step 802 where the ORB 310 de-marshals the incoming RMI-IIOP request. At step 804, the routine queries if the request contains serialized internationalization context. If so, the propagated internationalization context (PC) is extracted from the request at step 806. If the request does not contain the internationalization context, the routine, at step 810, sets the locale and time zone information is set to null. The routine then proceeds to step 808 where the serialized internationalization context is placed in de-serialized form.
[0064] At step 812, a caller internationalization context (CIC) is created and its elements are initialized to the locale and time zone of the propagated context (PC). At step 814, the routine queries if the locale information in the caller internationalization context is set to null. If so, the routine proceeds to step 816 where the default locale of the server is extracted and assigned as the locale for processing the request. If the locale information is not set to null, the routine, at step 818, queries if the time zone information of the CIC is set to null. If so, the routine, at step 820, attempts to extract the time zone information from the current process environment. At step 822, the routine queries if the time zone information was successfully extracted. If not, the routine, at step 826, assigns GMT time as the time zone for the internationalization context. If so, the successfully extracted time zone information is assigned as the time zone of the internationalization context at step 824.
[0065] At step 828, the routine obtains the context management policy from the container. At step 832, the routine creates an invocation internationalization context (IIC) with its elements initialized to null. At step 832, the routine queries if the management policy is AMI. At step 834, the routine queries if the management policy is BMI. If the management policy is either AMI or BMI, the routine proceeds to step 850 where the IIC elements are left at null. If the management policy is neither AMI nor BMI, the routine proceeds to step 836 where the routine queries if the management policy is CMI RunAsCaller. If so, the routine assigns the IIC elements to be those of the CIC. The routine then proceeds to step 852 where the CIC and IIC are associated with the current thread making both available to the current process. If the management policy is not CMI RunAsCaller, the routine queries, at step 838 if the management policy is CMI RunAsSpecified. If so, the IIC elements are assigned to be those specified in the context management policy descriptor at step 846. The routine then proceeds to step 852. If not, the method queries if the management policy is CMI RunAsServer. If so, the IIC elements as assigned to be those of the current server process. The routine then proceeds to step 852. If not, the routine proceeds to step 850.
[0066] Accordingly, the present embodiments provide for transmitting and managing internationalization information. Receiving machines (e.g., servers) are configured (e.g., with Application programming interfaces (APIs)) to provide the internationalization information to an application. The application may then use the internationalization information in preparing a response to a client or in order to perform processing in general. For example, the internationalization information may be used to format a response according user preferences. In another embodiment, the internationalization information may provide rules or conditions for calculations (e.g., preparing tax returns, e-Commerce transactions, etc.). In this manner, the present embodiments ensure meaningful network transactions that are sensitive to international diversity.
[0067] 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.

This week, I spent the effort and money to go to a record store and purchase CDs. I can see now why buying records back in the day was so exciting. A record store exists in service of sharing the musical expression of life experiences.

Coburn made the charge during an interview on MSNBC.
"And so there are a lot of questions that still have to be answered," Coburn said. "Maybe that's untrue but that's certainly the implication from people that are calling me from Oklahoma."
Coburn's comments come as Congress is investigating the IRS's targeting of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status for additional scrutiny. The IRS has apologized for inappropriately flagging groups for additional scrutiny because they had certain words in their titles, such as Tea Party.

SYDNEY Oct 19 National Australia Bank, the country's top lender by assets, flagged weaker-than-expected fourth quarter cash earnings and raised provisions to reflect slowing economic growth, knocking its shares down 3.4 percent on Friday.
NAB, which is shrinking its British operations after a review, said it expected fourth quarter cash earnings of A$1.4 billion ($1.45 billion), compared with analyst expectations for a cash profit for A$1.5 billion.
NAB said it will increase provisions by A$250 million in response to weaker growth expectations in its core Australian market and troubled British unit.
NAB shares were down 3.4 percent at A$26.05 at 2329 GMT. The broader market was 0.45 percent lower.
The bank is set to report full-year results on Oct. 31.

Al-Futtaim Group company gets ready for a Feb 2011 opening.
December 2, 2010 4:48 by Rasha Reslan
IKEA UAE, part of the Al-Futtaim group of companies, is all set to spearhead Yas Island's retail offering as more than 2200 workers make the Blue Box rise above scaffoldings and nodding cranes to ready the Swedish furnishing giant for business in the first quarter of next year.
The 33,000sqm IKEA store – more than three times the size of Abu Dhabi Marina Mall store and bigger than the 25,400sqm store in Dubai Festival City – is a complete family destination and will form part of Yas Island's retail centre Yas Mall. The present IKEA store in Marina Mall will relocate to Yas Island.
There has been significant progress on the construction and outfitting phases since IKEA broke ground in February last year and from February 2011 is expected to attract around 1.3 million visitors in the first year of operations with more than 60 percent of them being cash customers.
"Our project team is satisfied with the construction and outfitting progress and like promised during the ground breaking in February this year, IKEA will be ready to welcome nearly one and a half million visitors in the very first year of operations," said Mile Franicevic, General Manager IKEA UAE. "IKEA will be one of the first globally recognised retailers to operate from Yas Island and in keeping with IKEA's vision, will offer a wide range of home furnishings of good design and function at prices so low that the majority of people can afford to buy them," Mr. Franicevic said.
Construction is progressing well and the building's shell will be completed by the end of the year thanks to more than 2,200 employees working round the clock to complete the building works. Installation of the grid ceiling, vinyl flooring and racking installation is in progress and work on the car parking is well underway.
IKEA Yas store will have 1,400 parking bays for its visitors who will be served by 35 cash tills at the back of a total sales area of 19,150sqm. The cash tills include refund/exchange desks and IKEA Food & Beverage counters. Alongside Market-Hall (6,000sqm) and Showroom Furniture (6,150sqm) areas, there will also be a 550-seat, 2,100sqm restaurant serving popular Swedish delicacies as well as its healthy and affordable breakfast and lunches. There is also an exciting and fun IKEA play area for the young customers.
Mohammed Al Mubarak, Chief Commercial Officer, Aldar added: "We are extremely pleased with progress on the construction of IKEA's flagship store in the Middle East. The incredible attractions such as Yas Marina Circuit and Ferrari World Abu Dhabi are clearly the major draw today, but an incredible shopping experience will be at the very heart of what Yas Island has to offer. This will all start with this exciting store and we look forward to celebrating delivery with Al-Futtaim and IKEA early in 2011."

HIV Prevention Pill Advised For High-Risk Heterosexuals
ATLANTA (AP) - U.S. health officials said Thursday that doctors should consider giving an AIDS prevention pill to women and heterosexual men who are at high risk for getting the virus.
The government previously advised doctors to give the once-a-day pill Truvada to high-risk gay and bisexual men only. However, more than a quarter of new HIV cases each year are heterosexuals, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"That's not a portion of the epidemic we want to ignore," said Dr. Dawn Smith, the CDC physician who was lead author of the new guidance.
Truvada has been on the market since 2004 to treat people who already have the AIDS virus. But after studies showed it could help prevent infection among gay and bisexual men, U.S. health officials last year said doctors could prescribe it as a preventive for men at high risk.
Since then, studies have found it also can prevent the virus in women and heterosexual men.
Last month, the Food and Drug Administration formally approved the sale of Truvada as a preventive measure for healthy people at high risk of getting HIV.
The CDC is not recommending the pill for all sexually active heterosexuals. And even among couples where one person has HIV, regular condom use generally is effective protection. There an estimated 140,000 heterosexual couples in which one person is infected with the AIDS virus.
But the pill would be a good option for a couple that wanted to have a baby, Smith said, describing one possible scenario.
