At some point in every web developer's career, one sits down, breathes a heavy sigh, and gets the feeling "I've done this all before, and too many times". Whether you work internal to a company, as a freelance developer, or just for your own network of sites, eventually the 80/20 rule hits you. You know, the one that has many corollaries, but in this case means "80% of the work you do on websites is virtually the same stuff, over and over again".
Wouldn't it be nice instead to let someone else do much of that work and support, and save your pounding brain for the creative stuff that's different every time? That thought hit me a few years ago, when I realized that even though all my websites were entirely different, I could design, code, and maintain them all with an open-source Content Management System (CMS). I did some serious research, such as implementing one website using PHP-Nuke, Mambo, Joomla, and finally WordPress.
I chose WordPress as my general-purpose framework, even though it's theoretically a blogging platform, for a number of reasons. First of all, it's backed by a company, yet still has a large number of independent contributors. This is probably the best way of keeping code up to date and viable commercially, while still using the Open Source model. New features, bug fixes, and security patches are thus released relatively often, and it doesn't hurt that you can now update WordPress with a single click. Secondly, there are a phenomenal number of freely available, high quality themes and plugins that allow you to easily customize not only the look and feel, but also the functionality of your WordPress site. Finally, the total interoperability of WordPress with other platforms is second to none, so your site will be able to handle everything from Google Maps to SEO to AdSense to iPhone capability from day one. Don't believe it? That's why I'm here to teach you how to do it all.
Let's start with the basics. You can set up a WordPress blog free, but since you're a developer, you want a WordPress-based website, not simply a blog. At minimum, you'll need access to a web server with PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.1.2, and then you just download the code, edit one configuration file, and upload it to your server. I've heard a lot of software companies make outlandish claims, but believe me, the WordPress people are not exaggerating...when they talk about "five-minute installation", they are actually leaving you an extra 3 or 4 minutes for coffee! Using a web hosting provider that supports cPanel makes things even easier (once you know your way around cPanel, that is), but if you know the database login information for MySQL on your server, you're pretty much already done.
Once you've successfully installed WordPress, make sure you copy the admin account login name and password (they will even generate a good one for you). You'll first find yourself at the Dashboard:

New London - In a State of the City address that focused largely on change, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio on Tuesday laid out the current state of this city, where he hopes it will soon be, and presented his proposed budget as a first step in getting there.
The mayor also declared that he will not seek re-election next year.
Finizio presented his proposed budget of $87,128,467 in spending - an increase of 7.24 percent over the current year's budget - which he said "pulls us out of the hole, stabilizing our tax rate and our services."
"7.24 percent is a big increase for one year. It's a very big increase," Finizio said at City Council chambers. "I don't enjoy presenting you with this increase."
The $87.1 million budget for fiscal year 2014-15 represents $46 million for general government and $41.1 million for the Board of Education.
The general government proposal is 12.53 percent more than the current year's budget of $40.8 million, while the Board of Education's portion of the budget represents an increase of 1.9 percent over its current budget.
If Finizio's proposed budget is adopted, the city's tax rate would increase by 12.20 mills to 39.70 mills. The city's taxable grand list has decreased by 25 percent, Finizio said.
Despite the 7.24 percent increase, Finizio said, many city residents will see their tax bills go down and most downtown property owners will not see a large increase as a result of revaluation.
"This is one of the few times when a property tax increase will fall largely on those most able to pay," he said. "Many of the people with the least breathing room in their personal budgets will see their taxes rise only slightly, or even fall."
The budget he presented, Finizio said, will help put the Whaling City back on track to realizing its potential.
"As a city, we are on the brink of capitalizing on some of the most exciting opportunities our city has ever seen," Finizio said. "Although much of it isn't yet visible, New London is going through a period of significant economic development."
The mayor cited the expected groundbreaking of a grocery store and housing development at the corner on Bank and Howard streets, the City Flats project, New London Main Streets's CreateHereNow program, and the National Coast Guard Museum as major keys to the economic revitalization of the city's central business district.
"And yet, in order to realize the potential of these opportunities, we need to extricate ourselves from a very real, and a very grave, financial peril," he added.
Last week, The Day reported that the city's cash-flow problems could result in it running out of cash next month as a result of a withering fund balance, or savings account, chronic deficits in the city's capital projects fund and millions of dollars in state reimbursements that the city has never collected.
"It's hard for me to say, but I have to say it. It's hard for you to hear, but you have to hear it," he said. "We are out of money, and we are out of time."
Finance Director Jeff Smith has recommended that the City Council authorize roughly $10 million in bonding to help stabilize the balance sheet and nearly double the balance of the city's savings account.
Smith's recommended plan of action, along with the adoption of "a good budget," will ensure that the city "permanently turns the financial corner," Finizio said.
But even though the bonding proposal would nearly double the city's fund balance, it would still be just 25 percent of what it should be, the mayor said. So, at the behest of the city's financial advisers and bond rating agencies, Finizio included a $500,000 request for fund balance replacement in his budget.
Additionally, Finizio's proposed budget would balance the fire department's budget for the first time in a decade, include an increase of $1.4 million for the police department, fund 12 new positions in the Public Works Department, provide small increases for the library, Senior Center and Recreation Department, and add the city positions of industrial safety/risk manager and grants coordinator.
"This budget isn't frivolous. It doesn't contain luxuries. Neither does it put Band-Aids on gaping wounds. It rebuilds departments which have been decimated over the years, and it begins, in a small and reasonable way, to rebuild our fund balance," Finizio said. "The total price tag is not cheap, but I believe the alternative is even more expensive and unacceptable."
Many of the city councilors in attendance said that while they agree that many city departments need more funding, the mayor's budget will need some tweaking.
"He has crafted a budget that I believe is honest and is balanced," Council President Wade A. Hyslop Jr. said. "Now it is up to the council to take a look at that budget and see how we can work either within the confines of it, make cuts if necessary but not make deep cuts that will further destroy what is going on in our city."
The council's lone Republican, Councilor Martin T. Olsen, said the council will have to go through the mayor's budget "with a fine-tooth comb."
"I think that the public at large will find this proposed increase to be unacceptable," he said. "It will be incumbent upon the council to look at this thing rationally and reasonably and to try to come up with a spending plan that is responsible and also meets our needs."
Thursday, the City Council will hold its first of three budget review sessions during which it will go through the budget of each city department. The sessions, all of which begin at 5 p.m., will be held April 3, 10 and 14 in Council Chambers.
Ultimately, the mayor said, the fate of the city is up to its citizens. "We can have all this. We can be the city we have always known we could be," he said. "The signs of our renewal are as abundant as the roots growing under spring soil. Either they will wither and die, or else we will choose, in this New London spring, to nurture them and in so doing, give new life to our city."

Westlife – The Love Album [iTunes Plus AAC M4A] (2006)
Artist: Westlife
Album: The Love Album
Quality: iTunes Plus AAC M4A
Genres: Pop, Music, Electronic, Teen Pop, Dance, Pop/Rock
Released: Nov 13, 2006
℗ 2006 Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited
Album Review
A tradition had developed whereby every November since they first broke onto the scene, Westlife, one of the most successful boy bands ever, would release a new album and it would stay on the market, selling well though December, the most profitable time of year. Indeed, they sold well enough in most years to have the number one album, an achievement they had accomplished in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005, only missing out in 2004 with the Allow Us to Be Frank swing album, which had probably been too similar to the Robbie Williams Swing When You're Winning project, even for them. They had also missed out with their first album, Westlife, in their breakthrough year of 1999. Now in 2006, Westlife released their seventh album, playing it safe again with a collection of standard well-known love songs and ballads (they rarely did anything else) called The Love Album, which went on to become their fifth number one. There was a swagger and a confidence about Westlife, and also their record company, regarding the timing of their releases. Nobody was going to stand in their way. Having beaten off the Spice Girls' comeback album in 2000 for first-week sales, they were not frightened of any other label or artist stopping them from easily achieving a number one. In 2006, the competition was easily the strongest yet with albums by Oasis, U2, and even the Beatles, all released in the same week. No problem. With a fan base as loyal as theirs, they knew they had the number one position sewn up, and so it proved to be the case, admittedly only for one week, when the group that preceded them in teenage girls hearts, Take That, took over at the top with Beautiful World, their comeback masterpiece.
There were millions of songs that could have been chosen for an album project with two criteria — they had to be love songs and ballads — and Westlife, their management, and record company should be commended for not choosing the most obvious. Sure, there were versions of "All Out of Love" (which they performed with Delta Goodrem), "Have You Ever Been in Love," and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" (a welcome change from the overused "Unchained Melody," which almost all of the Pop Idol and X Factor wannabes chose to perform). They also included Bette Midler's "The Rose," Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and the Commodores' "Easy," all sung with not too much variation from the originals, but just enough to stamp that Westlife sound onto them. They also chose more unusual tracks: Garth Brooks' "The Dance"; "Love Can Build a Bridge," which had been a Comic Relief charity number one single in 1995; and Joe Cocker's mid-'70s hit "You Are So Beautiful (To Me)." If their fans stay loyal, Westlife could probably keep this level of success up for a long time to come.

I'm convinced that there's something about Veni Vidi Vicious, that illicits borderline personality. One minute I'm singing its praises to everyone I know (including an MTV VJ that I happened to meet last week), the next, I've taken it out of my stereo, out of my room, and haven't bothered to write one lick about it.
Let's get one thing out in the open, though—I like the Hives. I think. There's something about them that's inspiring—their vehement playing, their singing pumped with verve and belief, their saucy wordings. I was totally excited the first time I heard the opening number, "The Hives—Declare Guerre Nucleaire", which is an amazing bit of punkish fodder. Lead singer Peter Almqvist screams, jerks, and revels in a way that sounds sub or superhuman. His sonic backdrop—simple guitars, naked drums, galloping bass—at times reaches the minimalist working of geniuses. The next track, "Die All Right", is a ditty on corporate control that's halfway between the Pixies and Blink 182—heavy on the smarts and the speedy, blatty musicianship.
Then, Mark Hoppus seems to kick Frank Black's ass, and the album becomes flat garage band rock—boring and rushed, as if Mom's got her car in the driveway just before the band truly got jamming. Things are blatantly loud, fast, and punkier than punk. And less interesting. There's no talk of potties or poopies, but it's not exactly laden with significance, either. A few tracks, "Main Offender", and "Statecontrol", in particular, are absolutely grating in their pointless screaming and repetitiveness.
But I do waffle. Where there's camp, there's clout—and there's enough on this album to make it clear that something else is going on. Heard with the right frame of mind, songs have a way of transforming into play, or commentary, or both. "Hate to Say I Told You So" flirts devilishly with the alterna-rock format—and instead delivers kitschily nihilistic lyrics alongside deliberately Nirvana-ish guitar and bass. I get a kick out of it, and the Mayfield/Butler cover "Find Yourself Another Girl" (which, by the way, could only be delivered by an outfit trying to do a little something different). Overall, The Hives oscillate strangely and frequently between the sexy and doldrums. And honestly, that could just be me.

World Sufi meet today
New Delhi will witness the world Sufi meet today inaugurated by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, attended by more than 200 Indian and International delegates, including Sufi Shuyukh, spiritual leaders, scholars, academicians and masters of Sufism at the national and international level.
It is a four-day event hosted by All India Ulama and Mashaikh Board (AIUMB), the pinnacle of all the sufi dargahs in India.
The agenda of the meet is to debate on how sufism can directly or indirectly help in eradicating terrorism globally or control it to an extent at the most. Apart from the main discussion on terrorism the meet would discuss how to protect the muslim community from sectarian conflict, discrimination or division.
But unfortunately for the feminine sect of the community, the role of women in Islam would only be debated on for the International conference and not at the global meet at Delhi.
The sufi conference would end with a strong and straight declaration against 'extremism' and 'Wahabism' on day fourth of the meet to be held at Ramlila Maidan.

(Photo by Judah Taylor/Southside Daily) The Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News metro area ranks highest on lists of cities people are leaving the most and moving to the fastest, according to data collected by the internet apartment-finding tool Abodo. The study says it's because of colleges and vacation homes in the area, but does not mention the military's presence in the region. The study published this week showed that one in 10 people left the area, which also includes parts of North Carolina, between 2014 and 2015. The local population percentage leaving Hampton Roads ranked the highest with 9.9 percent, sitting above cities like Denver, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and nearby Richmond. But it also shows people are moving in just as fast as they are leaving. Hampton Roads ranked highest for cities with the most new residents. The Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News metro area netted 10.5 percent of new residents between 2014 and 2015, which is more of an increase than cities like Denver, Austin, and Oklahoma City saw. "In the case of [the Virginia Beach metropolitan statistical area], home to a surprising 10 colleges, the population inflow and outflow could be driven by the changing student population or turnover in oceanside vacation homes," the study states. Ultimately, the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News metro area only experienced half a percent of population change last year, according to the study. It ranks 7th on the a list of metro areas with the greatest population loss due to net migration, just below Los Angeles, Milwaukee and Memphis. Looking at the last three years, the area has seen a 1.1 percent decrease in population. The study aimed to track American moving habits by looking at the top 50 most populous MSAs in the US, analyzing domestic migration data, too. The numbers came from the U.S. Census Bureau 2015 American Community Survey 1-year estimates and metro area populations as of July 1, 2014. norfolk, Population, Virginia Beach Study: Virginia Beach, Norfolk rank highest on list of US areas people leave, move to most added by Justin Belichis on November 30, 2016View all posts by Justin Belichis → Comments comments Share on Facebook Follow on Facebook Add to Google+ Connect on Linked in Subscribe by Email Print This Post

So you want to help someone get a pet for a present.
The holiday season is fast approaching and many people around the world are thinking about someone who wants a pet for a Christmas present. A lot of them are a parent who is considering a pet for the family and the point of this article is not directed towards them (but it could have some pointers). This is for someone who is thinking of getting a pet for a parent or a child who does not live with them, another family member, or even a friend. Please, read this article.
A pet is a very long term commitment. By very long term I mean at least 5 years and possibly as many as 20 years. Pets do not make good presents to other people. Plain and simple. It is a decision that should only be made by the person who is going to be the primary caregiver for the pet and those who live with them. Do not, DO NOT get them a pet for Christmas. Many pets bought, adopted, etc. this way end up in shelters within a year (puppy behavior is not good, dogs get big, cats misbehave, etc.). Getting someone a pet as a present is a bad idea.
So, what do you do for the person who has their mind set on getting a pet this holiday season? You can be there for them and if you are educated on an aspect of the animal that they want (teach them about different dog breeds, etc.). Continue reading
What's with the complaints about stores being open on holidays?
Over the past few years (what, 5-10?) there has been a lot of outcry over people who have to work major holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. People even call for boycotts of these stores, hold protests, etc… Honestly, though, where is this coming from? Employees working these holidays is nothing new! Continue reading
This election has sunk to a new low.
First some disclosure, I want to be as transparent as possible. For those of you who read this and do not know me, I am a middle aged and white man who is registered as a Republican. I am college educated and my work is a mix of blue, white, and pink collar. As far as religion is concerned, I consider myself a cross between Pagan and Agnostic. I have lived in various states and areas that range from strong Republican to strong Democrat.
From the day Hillary announced that she was running for President of the United States I knew for a fact I would not vote for her. I also felt the same way about Donald Trump (in the primary and the general election).
I voted for Gary Johnson in the Presidential election of the United States on November 8th, 2016. I am not going to deny this fact nor will I deny that I have voted 3rd party for President since 2000. Each election, though, there were candidates in the primaries that I would have supported for President but unfortunately none of them got the nomination (personally I don't like the primary process anyway). For the past 3 elections where there wasn't an incumbent (2000 – Bush, 2008 – Obama, 2016 – Trump) I've been told I've thrown away my vote and by the winner's opposition I got their opposition elected.
Once again it's election time.
Here we are in the same place we find ourselves every 2, 4, or 6 years. It's election time. You can rest assured that Wed morning we'll wake up with either Clinton or Trump the elected president and about half of us will be happy or bragging and the other half will be unhappy and possibly even complaining about how rigged the process is. Then, a few days later we'll all go back to our lives and forget about the process for another 2/4/6 years then it starts all over again.
I'll admit, I don't like the election process too much. The delegates to elect the nominee is rigged plus the media likes to jump in and potentially influence the election (perfect example, Hillary Clinton announced she won the New Hampshire primary at 7:45PM eastern time even though the polls in New Hampshire were open until 8PM. The news ran with this from that minute over the next 48 hours and then people oved onto the next set of states. The truth? Bernie Sanders won NH's Democratic primary but not a single person or news agency went back and recanted the store about Clinton winning. This isn't the first time, too, remember Florida in 2000 when the news announced a winner even though polls were still open?
So you want to help our economy…
Everywhere we look it seems that our economy, while we're told is better than it has been, is still not as strong as it was in the past. Granted, a lot that drives the economy is "consumer confidence" (confident consumers buy more while less confident consumers tend to spend less), very little can be done to change the public perception of the economy (as a whole). People who are in well paid, full time employment are more likely to spend more (not just things that are needed but also luxury items) and are also able to save better for tough times that might come ahead, thus softening the blow when the economy does start to shake.
There are many little things we can do to help out our economy as well as keeping jobs in the USA. Sadly, many people choose to go the "cheap" route which is one of the killers of our economy and job market. Sadly, most of these do involve us spending more money but over the long run it will help our economy. Continue reading
Mixed feelings about uHaul's uBox
I recently moved from south Florida to central New Hampshire and the move required either a medium sized truck and a trailer for my car or a container to move my stuff. After research I decided to go with uHaul's uBox (similar to PODs but smaller, 6' X 7' X 8' (approx). Since the move is done and my stuff is in my new location I've decided to write a review about how the uBox service works.
It's safe to say that I have mixed feelings about it but a lot of this is also dealing with the people at the locations (so your mileage may vary). I had my uBox at a uHaul storage facility and I loaded it up there (shuttling my stuff in my car, renting a cargo van one day to move large items). This required at least 24 hour notice.

Well, in the business world when something goes wrong the entire company turns to one group of people to take care of it – their technicians (IT people, etc.). Continue reading
5 things drivers do for safety that are actually dangerous
1) Driving Slowly
This is one of my largest pet peeves (since it can be very dangerous) and by "slowly" I mean below the speed limit. I'd also like to add in – this means during normal driving conditions (when you can safely drive the speed limit). Dry pavement, good visibility, etc, are times of "normal driving conditions" while heavy fog, traffic, bad weather are not.
The thought: Driving slowly will give you more time to react if something happens while driving. It will also help you maintain control of your car. Besides, most highway safety boards say "driving slowly reduces your risk of an accident", right?
The reality: Driving slowly can be dangerous, especially on multi-lane roads and highways. People always look at speeders but at least they're the one who has to move from lane to lane to avoid the slower cars. If a car is going below the speed limit then all other cars need to move to get past them – more cars switching lanes increases the chances of an accident. Think of it this way, if you were driving 45 MpH in a 45 MpH zone and everyone else was driving 60 MpH you'd think they were being dangerous. How is this any different when one car is driving 30 MpH in a 45 MpH zone and everyone else is driving the speed limit?
What you should do: Drive the speed limit or at least close to it. If you can't then you should consider alternate routes on slower streets or even look into if you should be driving at all. Most states have minimum speed limits on highways and can also pull over cars on side streets for driving too slowly (usually 10-15 MpH below the speed limit). Continue reading

Typical operating systems (e.g., windows-based systems by Microsoft, Sun Solaris™, Linux™, MacOS by Apple Computer, Unix, etc.) provide a resource manager. The resource manager shares the resources of a computer system with the applications requesting use of the resources. Typical resources that are managed by a resource manager include processors, disk space, memory, peripheral devices, etc. For example, if two applications request to use the printer, the resource manager determines which application uses the printer first by placing requests into a queue.
In a distributed system, computer systems may be located in multiple locations throughout a private or public network. The computer systems within a distributed system may be considered a client, a server, or act as a client and server in certain situations. The client is typically the computer system that requests a service or resource, while the server is a computer system that shares a resource or performs a service (hereinafter, the use of the term "resource" is intended to refer to resources or services). A distributed system is useful because the distributed system allows the load created from the client requests to be distributed among a number of servers, thereby increasing the throughput of the entire system by leveraging the underutilized resources in the distributed system.
The resources that a server provides may range from processor time to storage space. In a distributed system, a client may request a resource, and the request is serviced by one of the number of servers with the resource available. Further, using a distributed system allows several requests to be handled simultaneously. Allowing the load to be distributed among a plurality of servers may help reduce the load placed on an individual server (whether on the processor, storage system, etc.).
Several methods are currently used to provide the location of a server where the requested resource may be found. These methods include using directory services, broadcasting, and querying (e.g., unicast, multicast, etc.). The current methods may provide a one-to-one mapping of a client and a server that handles the request of the client. With this method, several servers may be available to satisfy requests, but individual clients are mapped directly to specific servers. Another method, for example, may send a request out to the network, where servers that are listening for requests respond.
As discussed above, the server may handle a client's request for a resource using a one-to-one mapping. For example, a client, Client X, may have an object, Object A, that needs to be stored. Client X may be mapped, using a one-to-one mapping, with Server Z. In this distributed system, Client X may send a request to Server Z to store Object A. Several possibilities may occur. Server Z may reply indicating that space is available and Object A may be stored on Server Z. Server Z may reply indicating that space is not available, and Object A cannot be stored on Server Z. Server Z may reply indicating that the Server Z is busy, and the request is handled later. Server Z may not reply. In this type of system, the server typically is prepared for the specific types of requests that a client may make, and has a large amount of resource available.
In a distributed system, a distributed hash table (DHT) may be used to store and locate data throughout the number of servers. No central server is required to locate the data, instead each server has a partial list that may be used to determine where the data is located in a short series of steps. DHT allows the use of a programming interface with services that may be used to store data, distribute data, etc. DHT provides an algorithm to locate data once the data is stored in one of the number of servers. DHT treats each server like a bucket in a hash table, and assigns the responsibility of data to a server using a hash function allowing easy lookup when the data is needed.
In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for locating a resource, comprising maintaining a capacity object configured to store server information for a plurality of servers, transmitting a resource request from a client to an indirection server comprising the capacity object, selecting one of the plurality of servers to service the resource request using server associated with the capacity object to obtain a selected server, and redirecting the resource request from the indirection server to the selected server.
In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a system, comprising a client configured to send a resource request, a capacity object configured to store server information for a plurality of servers, an indirection server configured to accept the resource request from the client, wherein the indirection server comprises the capacity object, and a selected server selected from the plurality of servers using server information associated with the capacity object, wherein the resource request is redirected from the indirection server to the selected server.
In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a computer readable medium comprising software instructions for locating a resource, wherein the software instructions comprise functionality to maintain a capacity object configured to store server information for a plurality of servers, transmit a resource request from a client to an indirection server comprising the capacity object, select one of the plurality of servers to service the resource request using server associated with the capacity object to obtain a selected server, and redirect the resource request from the indirection server to the selected server.
Other aspects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description and the appended claims.
Specific embodiments of the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying figures. Like elements in the various figures are denoted by like reference numerals for consistency.
In the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in detail to avoid obscuring the invention.
In general, embodiments of this invention provide a system and a method for locating a resource by using indirection. Specifically, in one embodiment of the invention, a request is made for a resource by a client to an indirection server, and in response, the indirection server determines a server, from several servers, with the resource and redirects the request to that server. Accordingly, the server and the client establish a direct connection and the server services the request from the client.
The indirection server determines the server with the resource requested by the client by using data stored in a capacity object. In one embodiment of the invention, the capacity object stores server information (e.g., capacity, reliability, availability, bandwidth, etc.) for each of the servers. Specifically, the indirection server uses a pre-defined algorithm, which processes the data stored in the capacity object, to determine which server should receive the redirected request (i.e., the server that includes the resource requested by the client).
One skilled in the art will appreciate that while
In one embodiment of the invention, the request from the client is initially sent to an Indirection Server (112), which, in turn, redirects the request to a server (e.g., Server 1 (122), Server 2 (124), Server N (126)) that includes the requested resource. The Indirection Server (112) is used to redirect the request from a requesting client to an appropriate server. A Capacity Object (114) is maintained within the Indirection Server (112), however, in accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the Capacity Object (114) could be maintained outside of the Indirection Server (112). In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the Capacity Object (114) may be replicated on the Indirection Server (112), on another indirection server, or outside of the indirection servers, so that the Capacity Object (114) is highly available.
The Indirection Server (112) uses the server information (e.g., Server 1 Information (116), Server 2 Information (118), and Server N Information (120)) that is stored in a Capacity Object (114) when determining the server in which to redirect the request from the client. The server information (e.g., Server 1 Information (116), Server 2 Information (118), and Server N Information (120)) may include the storage capacity of a server, the bandwidth of a server, the reliability of a server, the number of processors available on the server, etc. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the server information may be stored as a field in a database in which server data may be inserted, updated, and retrieved.
After obtaining one or more capacity objects, each capacity object is associated with one or more servers (Step 202). Specifically, the server information for each server associated with a capacity object is maintained within that capacity object. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the capacity object is replicated and made highly available to the clients. Each capacity object may store the server information for a distinct set of servers, however, the sets may overlap. Once the set of servers associated with a capacity object is determined, the server information for each associated server is obtained (Step 204) and stored within the capacity object (Step 206). As discussed above, the server information may include the storage capacity of a server, the bandwidth of a server, the reliability of a server, the number of processors available on the server, etc.
As discussed above in
While the steps described in
The indirection server then processes the request from the client by executing a pre-defined algorithm on the server information stored in the capacity object to select one of the plurality of servers to service the request (Step 302). The server that is selected to service the request is the selected server. As discussed above in
Once the indirection server has selected the selected server, the client's request is redirected from the indirection server to the selected server (Step 306). In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the selected server may verify that the resource is available. If the resource is not available, the request may be denied, and the client may generate a new request. If the resource is available, the selected server and the client that requested the resource establish a connection to communicate directly (Step 308). Once the selected server and the aforementioned client are in direct communication, the selected server is able to service the client's request. For example, if the client's request is to store an object, once the selected server and the client are in direct communication, the client may start sending the object to the selected server, and the selected server may begin storing the object.
Once a request has been serviced, or while the request is being serviced, the server information for the selected server may be affected. For example, if an object is stored on the selected server, then the storage capacity of the server is reduced, which, in turn, is reflected in the server information. If several pages are in the process of being printed (i.e., the printer is busy), the server has one less printer available, which again is reflected in the server information. This updated server information is maintained in the capacity object associated with that server (Step 310). In one embodiment of the invention, the selected server may send a message to the indirection server with updated server information, allowing the indirection server to update the capacity object. In one embodiment of the invention, the server information may be updated in the capacity object periodically. For example, the server information may be updated in the capacity object at a pre-defined interval, e.g. every 3 seconds, every 3 update events, etc.
For example, Client X sends a request to Indirection Server B to store Object A. Indirection Server B has a capacity object that contains the server information for Server M, Server N, and Server O. In this example, the server information only includes the storage capacity of each server. Specifically Server M has 100 MB available, Server N has 200 MB available, and Server O has 200 MB available. Indirection Server B selects the server to send Client X's request to store Object A by running the predetermined algorithm. In this example, Indirection Server B picks the server randomly with a probability proportional to the capacity available for that server. Server M has a 20% chance of being selected, while Server N and Server O both have a 40% chance of being selected. Indirection Server B chooses Server O to store Object B, and redirects the request made by Client X to Server O. Server O may then verify that Server O has enough space to Store Object A. If Server O does have enough space, Server O establishes direct communication with Client X. Once communication is established between Server O and Client X, Client X transfers Object A to Server O for storage. Assuming Object A is 10 MB, Server O sends an update to the capacity object, informing the capacity object that Server O now has 190 MB available. After a pre-defined interval of 3 seconds, the server information associated with that capacity object is updated.
If Server O does not have enough space, Server O may not establish a direct communication with Client X, and Client X may send another request to Indirection Server B to store Object A. In one embodiment of the invention, Indirection Server B again randomly chooses the server with a probability proportional to the capacity available for that server and the process continues as described above.
The above example is only one embodiment of the invention. Other algorithms may be used when choosing the server to service the request. For example, Indirection Server B may verify that a server has enough space before redirecting the request to that server.
The invention may be implemented on virtually any type of computer regardless of the platform being used. For example, as shown in
While the invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art, having benefit of this disclosure, will appreciate that other embodiments can be devised which do not depart from the scope of the invention as disclosed herein. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be limited only by the attached claims.

I would like to see him but, the guy is a little on the ancient side now. Has anyone seen him in the last couple years who can tell me if he still has it? I don't want to go strictly for sentimental reasons to see a guy way beyond his prime but, would be great to see if he is stillentertaining.

Barkbelly is a wooden boy, brought up by loving human parents, whose life falls apart when he accidentally kills one of his playmates and has to go on the run. His journey turns into a quest for his real home and his real mother, and takes in along the way the circus, fierce pirates and mysterious giant hedgehogs.
US Kirkus Review » After five sparkling initial chapters, this Pied Piper retelling takes a sudden dive in quality and seems to switch genres. The opening scene features blissfully enchanted children dancing through Hamelin, trailing the Pied Piper away from their town forever. He leads them under Hamelin Hill and out the other side into Elvendale, an idyllic landscape of lush meadows and cozy farms, populated by "tall, handsome people with long, flowing hair, bright eyes, and a stealthy, catlike grace to their movements." The Piper is such an elf, but cursed for centuries for killing a stag in a forbidden forest: Each full moon, he bleeds afresh from a long-healed thigh wound and morphs into a bloodthirsty Beast. He steals Hamelin's children in the hopes of passing his curse along to an unknown special child with elven powers - Marianne or crippled brother Jakob, who are unknowingly half-elf. Weatherill's prose is warm and appealing on the Pied Piper arc, but her elven magic and curses vary between cliched and too random, rendering the overall piece forgettable. A shame. (Fantasy. 8-10) (Kirkus Reviews)

Success in the United States is largely defined by material wealth. Americans choose paths that will help their families to lead comfortable, happy lives. Sometimes this means following crazy opportunities to a new part of the country, which can be both exciting and risky at the same time. This was seen during the California Gold Rush of the 1840's. The Gold Rush was a significant event in our nation's history for many reasons, including its impact on Westward Expansion and its ability to establish America as the land of opportunity. Americans migrated west in pursuit of gold, prosperity, and the American Dream.
Gold was discovered in 1848, and spread across the country. John Sutter, a Swiss imigrant, arrived in California in 1839. He became a Mexican citizen and received a 50,000 acre land grant in Sacremento Valley. John built Sutter's Fort at present day Sacremento. There he developed farming and other businesses. Immigrants and travelors would go to Sutter's Fort to rest. In 1847, John Sutter hired James Marshall to build a saw mill at his site named Coloma. While working James Marshall picked up a piece of metal that looked like gold. James and John took it to be tested, and confirmed that it was gold. John was afraid that finding the gold was going to start a riot. He was also concerned that it would bring prospectors to his land. He asked Marshall to keep the discovery a secret, but word got out. Word of the gold spread across the country, in 1848("How It Started" NP).
Several people, from across the country, came to Califonia to search for gold. On December 5, 1848, President James Polk confirmed the discovery to the Congress. It then became national news. By 1849, the gold rush was on. From all over the world, people were coming to California. Many people hoped of striking it rich, and expected the rivers to be overflowing with gold. All the riverbank's were full of miners making it hard to look for gold. Most people were former storekeepers, cooks, carpenters, teachers, farmers, before going to Caifornia to search for gold("How It Started" NP). In April 1847, the town consisted of 79 buildings including shanties, framed houses and adobes. By December 1849, the population grew to 100,000 people(California Gold Rush" NP).
The gold discovery severly hit San Francisco, almost destroying it in the process. San Francisco soon became cluttered with deserted ships, abandoned jobs, and both San Franscisco's Newspapers had shut down. The New York Herald printed news of the discovery in, August 1848. The gold rush accelorated into a stampede("The California Gold Rush" NP). Many of the people made their money selling imported goods and farming equipment to miners, rather than actually searching for gold.
People did anything to get their hands on gold, even if it risked their lives. In the mid-1850's gold began to be difficult to find. But that didn't stop them many people came by wagon to California. They crossed the desert and climbed the mountains with their wagons, mules, and oxens. Most travelers left early so they wouldn't get caught in the Sierra Mountains during the winter. Travelers, who came by wagon, had more room to pack a lot of gear, cooking stoves, plates, cups, and forks and knives. And they would carry food that woud last for 6 months. The food was usually bacon, ham, rice, dried fruits, bread, flour, sugars, molasses, butter, coffee and tea("How It Started" NP).
The impact of the gold rush greatly helped California, making it a state. Because of the massive growth of population the Mexican Province became a state in the union("California Gold Rush" NP). In 1853, Hydraulic mining was created, whiched brought loads of profits in, but destroyed much of the Regions landscapes("Gold Rush" NP). Before the gold rush California was mainly populated with Missionaries and Native Americans("How It Started" NP).
Living became difficult for most miners when gold began to diminish,...

It's hard to differentiate for-profit educator DeVry
DeVry's bleak report on Monday soured investor sentiment by projecting that new student enrollment for the summer would drop by about 15%. Unfortunately, this dismal outlook only scratches the surface of this underperforming educator's problems.
DeVry earns an "F"
A dramatic decline in enrollment hits the company's bottom line hard, as more than 93% of DeVry's revenue stems from tuition. Much of this comes from federal aid, necessary for the working-class, older students to whom the industry markets. With the national student debt bubble climbing to over $1 trillion, relying on such an uncertain revenue source seems risky at best.
DeVry's boast that 92% of graduates find job placement within six months seems like a beacon of hope. However, that fact holds little water when compared to an abysmal graduation rate of 33%, far below most of the industry, and light years away from non-profit postsecondary institutions.
That makes for a total enrollee job placement rate of just over 30%, a number that doesn't help DeVry's position in an industry where 44% of students defaulted on loans in 2009. The combination of a shaky educational track record and mounting national student debt put the company on uneven footing in an uncertain sector.
Poor stock, worse sector
As fellow Fool Brian Stoffel points out in his recent article, improving domestic employment and a tightening government vise have strangled the hope out of the education industry. Fellow educators Apollo Group
Ultimately, investors will only find market misery in DeVry's stock. There's little to like with declining enrollment numbers and increasingly stiff industry regulation. With DeVry's future in doubt, I've gone ahead and made an underperform call on CAPS.
DeVry's murky outlook certainly doesn't invite promising expectations. To find an offering that will actually make you money, check out the Fool's free report, The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2012.
